Interesting potential to increase productivity
Stardock has released a beta version of a new desktop collaboration tool called ThinkDesk
The Multiplicity product allows you to have 2 or 3 PCs, each with their own monitor/keyboard/mouse (unlike like a KVM switch) and as you move your cursor off of the screen you then are controlling the computer on your left or right, but without having to switch keyboards or mice. It’s basically the same as having 3 computers on a KVM, but you don’t have to press a button to switch over to control another PC. Additionally, you can see the monitor views of each computer simultaneously.
This could be an interesting solution for those who like to do their builds/tests on one machine while still getting some work done on another machine, without having to flip a KVM switch between machines that are sharing a monitor. Or, in a pair programming environment, each programmer’s PC could be side by side but controlled by just one of the programmers: the one with the keyboard and mouse in hand, but both programmer’s computers are active and on display.
