Stardock has released Multiplicity v1.1. Multiplicity is a program that enables users to combine their computers into a single computing platform. It does this by enabling users to control their local computers with a single keyboard and mouse and establishing a universal clipboard between them.
If you've ever used multiple monitors, think of Multiplicity as being the next step -- each monitor is hooked up to its own computer and when you move your mouse cursor onto a different monitor, you now control the computer that the monitor is connected to.
Nearly every person at Stardock uses Multiplicity Pro (which allows for file copying and pasting between machines). It vastly increases productivity. Here are some of the key points:
- It's incredibly easy to set up. Just install it onto your computers and assign one of the computers to be the primary and the others to be secondary. Then from the primary you can easily set up the secondary in minutes.
- If you do anything that is CPU intensive, you know that having a secondary monitor is largely pointless because it'll be bogged down. With Multiplicity, you can still be working.
- It's great for working with two different OSes. Let's say, you have one machine running Windows XP and another one running Windows Vista. Multiplicity makes it easy to work with both together. A MacOS X version is about to go into beta as well.
- It's great for migration. The Pro version of Multiplicity allows users to copy and paste files between machines seamlessly. So moving documents and programs back and forth becomes very easy.
- Great for gamers. Play any MMOs? You could play two characters at once or have your game running and your IM and email going as well without worrying about something taking focus from the game.
Version 1.1 adds Windows Vista support, support for monitor placement above and below the primary machine, numerous bug fixes, and more.
