Is that really true? Or is it the fact that you promptly removed the operating system that had the drivers with the palm-guard checking functionality built in? :-P I think the issue you are conveniently not mentioning is that the manufactures aren't supporting linux anywhere near as well as they do Windows (yup, that ol' chestnut again!), and since you want to use Linux instead of windows, you are opting for a life of pain and suffering re: the touchpad. :-P
I think our driver could be improved to compensate for the palm-rest. Also, I am sure our driver could compensate for the over-sensitive nature of this particular hardware; no doubts, however there doesn't seem to be a way to separate out the tap-to-click since that is just a hardware automated button-1 press|release. I am willing to admit that the driver 'may' control this too! In such a case (albeit rare) the driver could be programmed to ignore the tap-to-click activity and either send a different button-event or swallow the activity all-together;
On the other hand, if the driver had palm-rest detection, disabling the tap-to-click might not be necessary either.
