I'm converting an aged desktop to be a very crude VM server (going to
try out Kimchi for giggles*). I kept the Windows 7 install on there just
in case and booted into it to make sure it worked.

It did. But neither mouse nor keyboard worked (both USB). Unplug, re-plug.
Mouse detected, took ~5 mins to install drivers.
Keyboard detected...as another mouse!

Oh, the hilarity as I tried to Windows-key/R before realising.

*Had considered vSphere, but there's serious hardware constraints (only
4GB RAM...why does DDR2 cost so much?)
