Microsoft has plans to commercialize a technology originally developed for schools in India to allow multiple mice to work with one PC. Originally this technology was to help in schools with many more children than PCs. Using the software you can connect several mice to the USB port of one computer. The technology is called MultiPoint and while it uses mice now, MS is working on allowing multiple keyboards and other peripherals to be used on one system at once as well, hence the MultiPoint moniker rather than MultiMouse. With this technology each user sees the same thing on screen; they just have their own input device. About Everything USB
