    I think that Microsoft is the key word here. Lol. Ok,
    all joking aside. This is a new product for Microsoft
    and they are probably still ironing out the bugs in
    it. I am not sure if it will ever be as good as
    VMware.
    Personally when it comes to virtual computing I am
    going to stick with VMware.

    You can try running:

    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

    and check your video card and resolution settings. You
    might want to try some generic, conservative settings
    and see what happens.
