PCWorld Reviews Multiplicity 2.0

PCWorld has published their review of Stardock’s Multiplicity 2.0.

“Multiplicity is very handy in a multi-computer, multi-monitor setup where the units are close together. It's more versatile, more convenient, and less expensive than a KVM or KM switch. Give it a shot if you have the need.”
