Ooops, that is what we call deja vue. My posting is almost identical to Johan’s. Sorry for the redundancy.

Maxivista has all that what Multiplicity provides but has a BIG plus. It allows to extend the desktop to the screen of the slave PC. You have to see the demo video: http://www.maxivista.com/demo.htm Johan

I have been using my Tablet PC alongside my desktop computer for some time now and definitely agree with the notion that it is a productivity boost. The only problem I have is that I can be easily distracted if there is too much going on :)
I’ve tried Multiplicity and shyed away from it in the end and back to Synergy, which I am still using. From what I can remember there were occassions when Multiplicity wouldn’t connect properly. It does have more advanced clipboard sharing though which is a real boon. Synergy can share text but image sharing is something they still need to develop.
What I’d really like to see is the integration of profiles, that way I could easily use Synergy in multiple locations.
A new version of Synergy is available which seems a big step forward so check it out alongside Multiplicity and decide which suits your needs.
