    The mouse is also very clumsy in Vista on my girlfriend's Macbook. Have you tried messing with the mouse settings in the control panel?

    What mouse do you have? If it is a Logitech or Razer or something it is recommended that you install the drivers provided by the respective manufacturers. If you're talking about the trackpad, then make sure you have the latest version of Boot Camp installed.

    I was actually referring to the trackpad. I'm not sure what the OP was referring to.

    Apparently the trackpad issue has been recognised by Apple, and they are going to release a fix for it.
