Microsoft Garage Mouse without Borders updated for Windows 8

Mouse without borders is a great app for controlling multiple PCs from one keyboard and mouse. I have been using it for a couple of years for controlling two PCs on my desk and it’s a great little program and can be very handy for controlling a HTPC from another PC. Yesterday Microsoft Garage released a new version of the program which is designed to work better with Windows 8 and Windows 8 tablets.

To install the new version you need to uninstall the old version on all your machine and then install the new version. Download from Microsoft.com

Overview

Mouse Without Borders is a Microsoft Garage project by Truong Do. Garage projects are side projects that Microsoft employees like Truong build for fun on their nights and weekends. Mouse Without Borders was designed for people who use many computers in the same room. For example, a laptop or tablet that you take to meetings might sit right alongside the desktop PC in your office.
