In reading the documentation, it does not look like
it is a hardware sharing of the mouse/screen, but a way
to hook up displays at the application level.
And so this may be useful for screen browsing, but it
does not look like it would be useful in system rebooting
and getting access to the bios of any of the other machines.
In addition, it looks like it does not care about location
of the other machines, so your secondary machines could
conceivably be far away (depending on bandwidth)
I have not yet seen if it support multi user sharing,
so that one desktop can mirror/reflect someone elses
desktop. (this would be used for over the phone consulting)
What makes this more interesting than just running Xwindows on a system?
