MaxiVista Version 2 - Still the Shiznit

Posted 2005-06-13 08:18 PM in Reviews | Tools.

I've been a big fan of MaxiVista for a long time. I love multi-monitor productivity and now that I have a TabletPC, I consider MaxiVista to be a required tool.

Now Version 2 is out, and it includes a nubmer of new features, with the shiniest of them being it's a KVM out of the box! With a hot key you can switch from your virtual monitor to the underlying machine. Automatically moves the clipboard contents, too.

The other thing that's pretty cool (and a little creepy) is the support for Video Playback. I'm not sure how they are doing it, but I can drag Windows Media Player to the TabletPC (over WiFI) and they virtualize the hardware surface such that the video just keeps playing.

I haven't tried the other new feature, but I'm hoping to soon. You can support up to three additonal monitors. I may just take over my wife's machine when she's not around, to expand my working desktop to a full FOUR monitors.

Check out the demo and put that extra machine and monitor to some use.

How cool is that! I tried a few of available KVM software utilities to replace my hardware keyboard switch. None of them worked sufficiently. But now finally you pointed me to what I was always looking for. This Maxvista is amazing indeed.

I've been using MaxiVista for a few months now. Of course, I learned about it via your blog and purchased the license. I absolutely can't live without it anymore. I am looking forward to downloading this new version! Thanks for letting us know!

Thanks for the hint. Really nice software and works as advertised. I like the extended monitor thing most. Followed directly by the smoothly integrated software kvm.
