This Battle.net Forum Thread details how to disable mouse acceleration in Windows 7. Now why would you want to do this?
Acceleration is something that a lot of gamers aren’t even aware of and they need to be because it can result in inconsistent behavior with their mouse. Put simply, acceleration increases the speed of your mouse cursor based on the speed you move your mouse. This might sound like a good idea but it causes problems - if you move your mouse from point A to point B then you’d expect your cursor to do the same thing each time you move the mouse between those two points; with acceleration enabled it won’t because you’ll vary the speed that you move the mouse between those two points and end up with inconsistent aiming.
Now go forth and point your mouse more accurately!
