Tools you use to augment your Windows install

The problem with Clover is that because it's based on Chrome it looks absolutely horrible with anything other than the default scaling options in Windows...

Just found the greatest (imo) program ever. It's called Synergy and it allows you to control multiple devices using one mouse and keyboard.

I currently have my tablet, phone, laptop and PC connected to it. It works just like the other devices are connected screens. If I go right with my mouse, it first appears on my PC, then my tablet and then my laptop. If I move my mouse down from my tablet, the mouse appears on my phone.

It also copies your clipboard across devices, and also allows you to use a keyboard on these devices.

Very interesting ResleyZ, I have played with various kvm and vnc offerings that do things like that before but that looks like it will be many times simpler to pull off. I will have to try it out.

Edit. Tested it out (linux server with windows 8, vista and debian clients). Pretty painless, worked with multimonitor on my server, a bit laggy when wifi is involved but I expected as much being as far away as I am from the routers the devices were using.
Next step is seeing how it plays out with virtual machines, I do not imagine it is going to be too troublesome beyond the normal network stuff.
I might also consider a magic tablet of some form as well.

Definitely easier than messing around with something like TightVNC as a "third monitor".
