Using mouse and clipboard between two separate Operating Systems running on two separate boxes

Have you ever wanted to be able to cut and past text between two separate Operating System running on two diffrence box. Have you ever wanted to use one mouse on multiple Operating System.

What you are looking for is Synergy.

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).
Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all. Learn more about how it works.
