Does that mean that Vista has support for a couple of independent controllers? I use two mice at home and at work, but they both control only a single cursor (!!!). I found somewhere that this was a conscious windows design decision (By the way there is a driver that enables more cursors in Windows, http://cpnmouse.sourceforge.net, but it's not really usable...)

Support for multiple independent controllers, now that would be a good reason for me to upgrade. On the other hand it's a bit sad that the advent of multi-touch screens in a single cursor world, seems like "640K should be enough for anybody" repeating itself
