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.
