Win2VNC
Authored by: lullabud on Feb 01, '05 02:07:58PM
At work I use Win2VNC between a Powerbook and a Thinkpad. It uses the built-in Apple Remote Desktop VNC server on Mac OS X (although some of us perfer to use OSXvnc) to transfer all Mouse and Keyboard movements off the edge of one screen on to the other. It also allows copying of text on one machine to paste onto the other.

Since it's using VNC it allows you more flexibility. You can simply log in to the remote machine, rather than moving the mouse from one screen to the other. Also, it doesn't require you to go into the terminal to install, since VNC for Mac has at least two elegant native solutions.

I've never tried Synergy so I can't compare, but then, I've never had a need since Win2VNC works fine for me.
