I searched through the local forums, but couldn't find anything on this topic.

I was wondering if anyone has thought of having support for multiple mouse
cursors for systems that have more then one pointing device attached. There
are times where being able to control multiple cursors at once could have
advantages. By default, all attached pointing devices can be bound to the
primary cursor, but the user could go to the mouse properties in the control
panel and reassign which device is bound to which cursor.

Yeah, but I believe he wants 3 cursors bouncing around the screen at once!!!
So you would have a blue one for your usb mouse, a red one for the
bluetooth, and a purple one for the pen device.....just seems like more
hassle than it is worth...

I hope he explains a scenario where it would help..maybe a full screen game
on one window, and one of the other cursors in the second monitor to check
email while running around oblivion? I could have used that today..

Seems like the Bluetooth cursor should be the blue one, doesn't it
