I was just talking about myself and a few others. In my company people are all given a Thinkpad (no choice), and howsoever I try I can't get that to work easily - and it's definitely much slower for me than the trackpad (and it looks bad to me anyway). I know that many people find that very useful and with time people get greatly used to that trackpoint, but definitely not beginners. Ctrl key has always been the last key at the bottom row, so it's really easy to press, not sure why they would change that standard. Previously they didn't even have a BIOS setting, but they faced such a strong backlash that they had to add that. They did a survey and found out that a lot of people want that to match the industry convention.
