At first sight, ShareMouse seems to replicate the remote control feature of MaxiVista.
The core difference is, that in MaxiVista, the remote control mode is internally tied to virtual video drivers of the extended screen feature.
This difference leads to some significant benefits of ShareMouse, justifying a separate product.
* MaxiVista is Windows-only. ShareMouse supports Windows and Mac OSX.
* ShareMouse works bi-directional. MaxiVista is master-slave based.
* In MaxiVista remote control mode, the virtual video driver is always active in the background, preventing Aero. ShareMouse does not have a video driver and has no effects on Aero.
* MaxiVista is limited to 3 monitors. ShareMouse supports an unlimited number of monitors and computers.
* MaxiVista does not allow to position the monitors with slight shifts. ShareMouse provides any possible monitor positioning.
* ShareMouse will get many remote control related special features that we won't implement into MaxiVista as the main focus in MaxiVista is extending the monitor screen to a 2nd Win/Mac PC.
Hope, this helps.
