it sounds like a programming dream! So advice or especially reports of actual experience in a programming environment would be greatly useful before I invest in the rather complex setup. This solution feels like a combination of easy KVM switching AND multiple monitors.

We have unique needs especially with multiple text windows and editors, and this kind of tool may be a huge win or a huge hassle. My question is whether any programmers have tried such a setup. Some googling suddenly shows that this is possible in some situations for sure: However a casual conversation at a conference led me to the question, could I use two independent machines to share windows? Literally move some windows from one machine to another, so I could use one PC's display as "overflow" from the other. I use the Mac both to compile Mac builds but also as my "reference web browser". I often code in Windows on my main machine, and have my Mac laptop set up to the side. The joys of multimonitor programming are countless, I think there are about 5 blog posts on Coding Horror on the topic alone!
