If that happens (the tablet being "shared"), does that mean it would
also be possible to use a wacom tablet "properly" in linux AND in
windows installed through vmware or qemu?

(Sorry, I'm not too deep into this technical stuff).

Because as far as I know, right now it's possible to get pressure
sensitivity in windows/vmware installed inside linux, but only if you
sacrifice its functionality in linux (i.e. don't install linuxwacom).
