The Lenovo keyboard I have (SK-8835) on XP has two entries in the Device Manager under "Mice and other pointing devices", one of which is the touchpad. Disable, and voila no touchpad. It's done wonders for avoiding my own 'clumsy thumb' syndrome...
Not to detract from your point, however, the new X3:Terran Conflict uses TAGES. (X3: Reunion used SecuROM) Also, Egosoft has stated that later patches of X3:TC will remove all DRM (as they have w/ their previous titles).
