For anyone who’s using Vista, have you noticed any sort of mouse lag? Going from XP (under mouse settings, have it set to improve accuracy and the sensitivity turned all the way up), which was extremely smooth, to vista it seems like I’m getting some fairly significant lag, or it just seems like the accuracy isn’t what it was in XP. I figured that it might be from using aero, so I tried using the classic theme and still laggy. is it the stupid video card? Seems unlikely, unless the GPU controls some of the GUI processing functions other than just displaying the image (obviously) and shader effects (if you’re using aero) ---

what kind of mouse do you have? we have a vista system next to an XP at my office’s test lab and I checked both quickly and they’re the same. ---
