Multi-button mice are fully supported by the OS, they just aren't supplied as standard.

That was under Mac OS 9, where it won't prompt you to install the driver - you need to do that yourself and for legacy reasons, the approach to managing printers is very different to what you'd be used to under Windows.

Most people here are talking about Mac OS X, which tends to keep a huge set of drivers for USB printers and sets up and configures it without even showing any dialogs.

USB didn't start on Macs, just Apple took up the torch and lead the industry (althogh you could argue they just got into it a couple of months before the rest of the PC industry was due to launch all their USB kit and took the credit for being pioneers).
