If you installed Linux on a Macbook Pro would multitouch work? That would be interesting to know.

I'm not sure. I know I have a magic touchpad here that doesn't work properly on Windows or Arch beyond using two-finger scrolling. I never looked into it deeply because I find them uncomfortable to use compared to a mouse or keyboard.

On my Macbook Pro I use multitouch gesters all the time to switch workspaces. Three finger swipe left or right to switch workspaces. Three finger swipe up to see all the applications open on the current desktop. If I can get this feature on Linux then I would consider looking into switching.
