Publisher's Description
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

This puppy is pretty slick. You don't need multiple monitors like it says, works with two computers and one monitor. You do need the ability on the monitor to connect a seperate input from each system. In my case I used DVI and HDMI. Set it up Sever/Client push the mouse off screen to the left (in my case) and switch the LCD to HDMI. Works perfectly. Push the cursor back to the right and switch the LCD to DVI and it is back. Works like a KVM.
Of coursre it works perfectly if you have more than one display, laptop or another sytem. Just put them wher you want them in the control panel, top. bottom etc and move the mouse cursor off screen in that direction and you will be working on the other display.
I use Win 7 64 with the 64 bit version of Synergy.

This has worked great for me on two laptops and a netbook all surrounding my desktop monitor just for kicks. :D
All modern versions of windows are part of the "NT" family, so yes, they all work. The project's documentation hasn't been updated in about 10 years lol

It seems to be working fine for me with win 7. I have a triple monitor setup mac/win7/linux and works like a charm.

Version 1.4.2 Beta includes install packages for Windows 7 32 and 64bit. I just installed on my Win 7 x64 desktop and works fine!

Mods need to change the quick description from:
BETA (February 22, 2011)
Linux, Mac, Windows (All) / Open Source
to:
BETA (February 22, 2011)
Linux, Mac, Windows (UP TO XP) / Open Source
Direct from the dev's site:
System Requirements
* Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me (the Windows 95 family)
* Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP (the Windows NT family)
* Mac OS X 10.2 or higher
* Unix
So this program supports any Windows OS that's at least 10 years old or older.
Admittedly, I haven't gotten to try this program, as it won't run on anything newer than Windows XP...but with enough development to carry it into the newer generations of Windows, it just may come in handy to people like me that need a program like this to operate multiple systems from a single keyboard/mouse.
