finally virtual desktop across pc for windows 2k/xp
 

I've been waiting for this for a bit, it allows you to use other pc's as extra monitors basically, great for laptop owners with limited outputs.

what a great program, i can't wait to try this out :)

i'm loving it so far ! :) bought after about 10 minutes playing with the demo

I use VNC and other programs of this type to do tasks across multiple machines from my one machine. I don't see the attraction of needed that much screen real estate. Only people that ever needed that much that I've ever seen were traders in some of the banks that I've worked in here in NYC. Some of them have some bad ass systems that look like you'd see in like Matrix or Swordfish.

It is pretty neat, but I'd rather KVM or use VNC. I want to maximize all my clock cycles.

As you know VNC is not the same Cynthetiq, this allows you to use other PCs as secondary displays to your main system, so i can have a 2nd and/or a 3rd display on my laptop.

It works pretty well too after a nite of working with it, i can leave my email open on one screen, developer studio on another, web etc on another, screen estate is important for me, even at one monitor with 1600x1200, another at 1200x1600 i was still finding it quite limiting, i'd been looking around for another way to add a 3rd screen to my laptop, but everything else has been very prohibitive cost wise, as well as very clumsy.

The swordfish style display is where i'd like to be sometime.

I've been using a similar thing for Linux for quite a bit now. It's called x2x
It's pretty damn cool, and doesn't require no crazy xfconfigs to be setup, just the correct xhost permissions.

my question is if you have a bad computer and a good computer. so u make good computer main and bad one second. Will you get good comp Performance on both screens?
