Just an update on this.
At work, I use my Win8 based Surface with a separate monitor connected to a USB
docking station.
Moving Windows works just fine in that configuration. The cursor is connected
to the window when I move it, and it stays when I release the button.
The issue appears on the native Surface screen. It occurs with both the
touchpad and the Bluetooth mouse. I will try some different resolutions and
font sizes

No problem installed on the desktop/in the Start menu with either
Windows 7/64 Pro or Win 8.1/64 on hardware from an old Core2Duo to
an i7. However, I am using a traditional mouse and not the touch
pad or touch screen.
