I have not tried the use case you just described. I did try something whacked and was surprised it worked: you can take a two headed machine, run two instances of VMWare on it, and spread the monitor of a third machine across the two virtual displays. Not efficient, but it worked. One note about running maxivista on a Vista client, you have to run the maxivista software as an app and not as a service. It's a vista security issue, and that's cool. I need to do a more complete review of MV and try all these odd configurations. I'll add that to my idea list. That’s a really good point, Kevin. I have not tried the use case you just described.

If your host machine is running Vista it requires you to roll back your video drivers to the XPDM versions or it simply won't work (by design). You can run Vista on the secondary machine with no problems though. Another compelling reason for me to just roll back to XP at work too. Thanks for turning me on to the app; it's great.
