That sounds incredibly cool. So if I understand PiP right: Does it work across computers? So I can sit at the keyboard and mouse at one computer and play the main and then use "PiP" to switch so i use the same keyboard and mouse but I'm operating another WoW on another computer and another screen that i have beside me?
So I basically can cut out the extra keyboards and mice altogether (that i use today on the other computer to make all micro-management of my alts) and operate everything from the main computer. If thats the case its awesome!

no.. PiP is only for the characters on the same machine. doing anything between machines would be getting into video and remote application stuff... and that's not on the list

Ye. I get that. Not to mention the technical difficulties of transferring a realtime game window, which is (afaik) impossible with decent frame rates even on gigabit-lan not to mention how hard the computer would have to work just to pump that amount of data.
But that was not what I ment. I ment that if you (as most multiboxers do i imagine) sit at a table with 2 or more computer one could transfer main control to another char on another computer. (turning your head to the right monitor, but maintaining mouse and keyboard control)
Ok, I'll illustrate with an example:
You wander happily in the woods when from nowhere a evil werewolf attacks you. You target him and see "Son of Argual 24 (elite)". So you switch your main into bearform and start fighting bravely. The only problem is that you are not more than lvl 17 yourself so you main goes down, but its so close. Son of argual is down to 20% hp! So now comes the switch:
You press (example) Ctrl+Shift+F2 and >Turn Your Own 'IRL Head' towards the other screen connected to computer #2<. Now you got keyboard and mouse-control over this computer (and wow session) instead. So you refocus you living companions (3 players left) by F2 and turn into bearform and continue the fight.
That was how I though it worked when i asked, last evening. Not that you took over the screen like RDP while in gamemode (which as mentioned doesn't seem as a realistic option)
-
nope, doesn't do that. what you are looking for is a hotkey'd synergy jump where the mouse actually works.
