'The Split Personality'

Curious to read this?
Do you think that I am going to write about some psychological aspects of 'Split personality?' No...
Do you think that this is about 'Anniyan' movie? No...

Here is a new innovation that I am going to write in this blog - 'The split personality' of a PC :) In this fast paced world, usage of PC is at every other corner in all parts of the world. Be it a data entry operator, Software developer, a school kid, a house wife writing blog recipes - Each one of them use a PC. So, what is this Split personality? Scientists from Microsoft Research have come up with a clever piece of software where two users can use the same PC by having control over the same PC with two different mouse and keypad. This combo can be used to edit different pieces in the same PC by two different users or they can control the same document/part they work on.

This is a Beta version from Microsoft and add-on features have to be plugged in to place this as a real product. This beta version has been submitted in the 'Innovation Summit'.

Details of this research can be found in this page:
