So I came across a program called MaxiVista, which turns one computer into a monitor for another computer. This is sorta cool, but it got me to thinking, this would be way cooler if the monitor (computer) still had a use of it's keyboard/input. I say this because I have a touch screen netbook, and would like to put my desktop on it.

Has anyone heard of this? I know that MaxiVista will (someday) release an update for the iPad to make it a touchscreen monitor, which is sorta what I want to do, but also add a keyboard.

way to hog all the bandwidth rantent.

A pretty good example of what I want

Both of these work for the ipad, but nothing for another laptop.

oh you just want remote desktop?

Maybe Teamviewer works for you? You don't even have to install it (though you can if you want).

rdp is a built-in Windows feature, fairly easy to enable. Latency is going to be a problem, though.

Are you looking for something like Synergy?

Yes! Remote desktop software is what I am looking for. Thanks everybody.

Windows Live Mesh could do this, last time I tried. They may have combined it with Windows Live Sync by now, though, I remember there was a reshuffling.
