From Microsofts Garage: Mouse Without Borders
Mouse Without Borders, much like the real world counterparts, doesn't care about your screen's boundaries. It doesn't care where one OS stops and another starts. Mouse Without Borders essentially busts through these borders and creates one, massive environment controlled by a single mouse and keyboard along with providing very simple file sharing and clipboard sharing -- and it was made by Microsoft Dynamics employee Truong Do on his free time and available as a free download.Steve Clayton explains Microsoft's The Garage as both a physical location in Building 4 at Microsoft's Redmond HQ and a company wide program that "encourages grass roots invention, tinkering, ideas and incubation of projects." Apparently most of the projects are never released as a stand-alone project and are either integrated into future OSs or simply used internally at Microsoft. Thankfully, Mouse Without Borders was the exception. This 1.1MB utility is awesome and just changed my workflow.
