Hi. Here is my question. Currently I have a Windows XP desktop computer. I will be purchasing a Vista laptop in a month. Does Synergy work on Vista? If it does, will I be able to share a wireless keyboard and mouse plugged into the laptop with the XP computer? Also, when I take the laptop somewhere with me, is Synergy going to give me constant error messages because the desktop computer won't be available?

I've never used Synergy, but according to its bug tracker, Synergy should work "okay" on Vista if it's the server and you run it in user mode (a.k.a. no autostart/service mode).
