Well, right click's always been available in Mac OS X - not natively in earlier versions.

The alternate way is hold down the Control key while clicking.
Tested with a two-button Microsoft mouse and, yes right click is already set up.

If it doesn't have the shortcut to Applications you can just drag the icon to the Apps folder in the Finder.
The control panel is called System Preferences on the Mac.

Modify hot corners to prevent accidental activation
Aug 02, '06
This older hint describes one way of preventing accidental activations of Exposè.
As of 10.4, however, it is also possible to add modifier keys to the hot corners in the Dashboard and Exposè panel of System Preferences. Just hold down Shift, Control, Option, Command (or some combination thereof) while selecting an option from the list.
This may be useful if you find yourself accidentally activating Dashboard, Exposè or even the screen saver when you flick the mouse to a screen corner.
Note that when a modifer key is set, you must have the key pressed before you put the pointer in the corner; it is not enough to hit the modifier key as an afterthought.
