Use your laptop as a extra monitor

[bartelsmedia]

Just like UVNC transmits desktop contents to another PC via a network connection, the software MaxiVista can send an extended desktop to any secondary computer monitor:



This allows you to use any Laptop, Netbook or Tablet PC as an extra monitor for your main PC just like a multi monitor setup.

The latest version is now compatible to Windows Vista, Windows 7 including 64 bit operating systems.

Wow, that actually what I was looking for. Thanks.

I have just switched to Windows 7 and will give this a shot. Thanks for the heads up!

Now if only MaxiVista wasn't owned by a bunch of jerks, I would be set.
If you ever try their customer service, don't expect a nice or helpful response. I tried and all they did was insult me, so I would suggest not paying them anything until they clean up their act.

For details, view this report I filed a few weeks ago.

(By the way, this isn't spam, I'm simply trying to spread the word so others know about their poor business practices and to try to encourage others to make something similar. I would do it myself, however I'm not a coder by any stretch of the imagination.)

I am at the same time inclined to be sympathetic to them (since you searched out an unlinked legacy page on their web site marked 2003-2006 and then insisted that they support it) and sympathetic to you (since their terse replies were indeed assholey). So I don't know what to say.

"What interesting logic your email contains."

"As said, the SE Edition is discontinued. Stop nagging now, please."

Perhaps they assume that since their main web pages no longer link to the product or the hidden password page you found, people would get the idea that the product is unsupported. Who knows. A user at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jonathanh/archi ... 39645.aspx confirms that their support was always bad.

So this is why I always prefer open source, or at least truly freeware solutions rather than closed source, shareware, trialware, or DRM-Light password request schemes. It (mostly) doesn't matter if the developers turn out to be scum if you already have the code.
