I feel like I've seen this problem with multiple virtual machines with Win8 and Win7 on multiple physical machines using VMWare and Visual Studio Tablet Simulator. Once you start using a virtual machine of anything, and then go back to Windows, there'll be random artifacts on your mouse pointer, little black dots that follow your pointer around. Does anyone know of a solution outside of rebooting?
(Has anyone else even seen this problem? I'm awfully sure I've seen it in many different scenarios though I haven't been keeping track, but I don't see any other complaints about it elsewhere, so who knows maybe it's my mouse or something ridiculous like that; such things happen).
