This hot new utility from Microsoft's Garage projects lets you use one mouse and keyboard across multiple computers (up to four), provided they each have their own monitor and are on the same network. (I find it particularly useful with my desktop and laptop since I only have one monitor.) You can copy and paste text and images across all computers, and you can drag and drop files. It's very easy to set up and it works great. Definitely worth trying.
