We live in a world of touchscreen laptops, and you consider 'multiple mice' to be an edge case? Interesting.

  The edge case isn't multiple mice, it's multiple mice controlling multiple pointers in multiple sessions.

  I'm not sure I following the reasoning process (or lack thereof) used to make this association. First, just because something is common (multitouch laptops), doesn't mean something similar is equally common (multiple mice). Second, those multiple mice weren't used for a person controlling multiple pointers at the same time, but for multiple people using the same computer in different window sessions. So not like multi-touch at all. Third, even if multiple mice used at the same time by the same person was what we were talking about, it doesn't follow at all that it would be as convenient and approachable as multi-touch to have it be something more of an edge case.
