I never got why some had trouble with that. My MacBook, which is getting for 6 years old, could right click copy paste out the box, and the windows CTRL+C and V works exactly the same on Mac too (just with the CMD, which is is the primary modifier, button instead of CTRL). I actually wish I could turn off the right click, as with a track pad, or a Magic Mouse, you just don't need it (because of multi gestures, two finger tapping brings up the right click menu anyway)

My biggest bug-bear is highlighting a file and hitting ENTER, only for it to facilitate a name change rather than opening the file CMD+down arrow opens a file, which seems a bit odd, but there you go!
