If you have ever run SLES 10 on Hyper-V you will know that after installing Integration Services (which were developed by Citrix as part of Project Satori) there was a lack of mouse intgration. Now you can download the mouse driver here from http://www.xen.org/download/satori.html
So how do the Integration Services compare between a supported Windows and non Windows Guest (see table below):

* - To be able to snapshot non VSS aware guest operating systems you must first hibernate the operating system to dump the memory and CPU. Snapshot the Guest and then resume the operating system.
