Microsoft Mouse Without Borders A Garage Software Release

Microsoft Mouse Without Borders is one of my favorite "Garage" tools. Garage Tools are tools that Microsoft makes internally that often become part of other products, but when they aren't a fit for any of the pay products they are released as standalone download. Mouse with out borders is like the ultimate KVM, it enables sharing a mouse and keyboard, but also the clip board and files between computers.

Seeing that you worked for Microsoft, would you ever switch to OS X if you had a compelling reason?

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@MSComputerVideos I just installed Lion on my Mac. I hate it. I have several pieces of software that require me to use a Mac, and I support clients running Final Cut. When I was at Microsoft I have the Most expense Mac money could buy for doing Final Cut Work Flow, and I still prefer Windows on my Desktop. My Web Servers are Linux, and I prefer Avid to Final Cut, but I have Macs for testing and trouble shooting.

Thumbs up if you think Brandon should ask for more Thumbs Ups.

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@gamedexterity To be fair, those Thumbs Up don't count towards my Like/Dislike Ratio... And I don't think the sample size is large enough that I can sell the data... But it's interesting to me what people are or aren't using to solve this common issue.

Thumbs Up this comment if you Installed Mouse without Borders

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@MisterDoodlez Yes. Otherwise it would be really scary... I'd install it on my computer and control yours. :-)

My mouse controls on my second PC are reversed when I use this. Left  Mouse button is right mouse button, and right is left etc. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

I really needed this program! I hated having keyboards and mouses all around me.

[kylepolansky]

Just some questions. Does this work on Server Core, and how does this compare to synergy?

[iDoiStuff]

I have way more then one computer! but they are all macs :)

Does it Makes me LAZY? Just wondering...

[micgamer16]

i think i prefer teamviewer 6 i've never had lag on that application theres an iOS and an android app so even when your not at home if you need to access your computer you can do it over the app you can also transfer files between two computers running the application as well as transferring files over the internet if your not on the same wifi network.

thank you very much Brandon, this is EXACTLY what i had been searching for a very long time! Works perfectly. This should be part of windows, i think its a killer feature!

[MSComputerVideos]

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom interesting. I take it you don't like the iOS integration? I was generally happy with the UI updates Apple made.
