Of course, there are licensing issues too. There are games that are only available for one particular platform, so if you really must have that game, you are stuck with that platform.

For instance, Doom3. It's a M$ only product for now. No coincidence that the only console it will be available for initially will be the XBox. Of course, the PS2 and GameCube have snowball's chance in hell of running Doom3 with all it's eye candy.

Time to back off the M$ vs. the world issue. I think that horse corpse is quite bloody already.

Back on topic, has anyone benchmarked USB connection VS. old PS/2 connection for mouse performance?

I swear I can't really tell the difference, and usually, the little difference I find is that PS/2 has less lag.

Or an X600, you won't believe the improvement it will make. (I'm using a GF3, so I really shouldn't be saying your card is slow O_O, but I have no issues)

Unfortunately it's nothing to do with the mousing surface.

It's some software bug. Just dunno what's the best way to get around it without sacrificing speed.

I narrowed it down to cursor acceleration but how do you fix that short of disabling it.

Some one mentioned "serial mouse" detection in another forum. If you're outta ideas, you can try it. No promises.

Right click My Computer
Select Properties
Select Advanced Tab
Select Settings in Startup and Recovery
Select Edit

add /NoSerialMouse (case sensitive) to the line:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\XP="Windows XP" /fastdetect

It should look like when you're done:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\XP="Windows XP" /fastdetect/NoSerialMouse

Save and Exit, then reboot

worth a try anyway...but I'm doubtful
