Multiplicity History

2005

Multiplicity 1.0 is first released in February of 2005. Multiplicity is a program that enables users to control multiple local computers with a single keyboard and mouse.

Multiplicity works by having a primary computer with a keyboard, mouse and monitor connected to it and multiple local secondary computers that still have a monitor connected to them but no keyboard or mouse. When the user moves their mouse cursor from the primary computer to one of the monitors connected to a secondary computer, the user is then controlling that secondary computer. Multiplicity then ties them all together with a single universal clipboard enabling the user to seamlessly work with multiple computers at the same time. Multiplicity talks to the other computers through the user's network connection.

Multiplicity came in a standard and pro version with additional features.

2006

Version 1.1 of Multiplicity was released and it added support for the new Windows Vista releases, and support for monitor placement above and below the primary machine.
