This sounds like the old story-telling dog joke. The trick is not that he
tells stories, but that he can talk at all.
It does not sound too unreasonable that interrupt-driven activities are a
little goofy with this setup. You are 3 layers into a virtualization, and
each layer has to -re-virtualize the hardware mouse device.
I suppose there is some type of good reason you're virtualizing WinServer
inside VMWare instead of just letting it run under VirtualBox. (I can't guess
what that reason would be, but it seems too bizarre not to be well thought
out.)
