Amazing - it just works

Multipilicty makes my life easier

I had some initial trouble setting up Multiplicity Pro due to what I think is some unintuitive use of the GUI (or it could be that i'm an idiot) but once my installation confusion was over the product just works and works.

I have a dedicated gigabit network for my Multiplicity needs and it's a breeze to copy and paste large files between machines.

This is one of the sweetest products ever, I hope the (for me useless) OS X version comes out soon so Stardock can start working on a (much more useful, thank you very much) Linux version.

Anyway, thanks for another great product!

Ironically, one of the comments we frequently get is how approachable the UI is. What did you find offputting? And what went wrong in your initial config that gave you some trouble?

The linux version is not a high priority atm (it won't be part of 1.1). Hope you'll see the OS X beta before the end of July and we'll work from there.

I too would like to see a Linux version. But first we gotta get the Mac client support and update the Win32 version further.

I think the Mac OS X should be the highest priority. Especially when it is, in a way, promised/guaranteed to be released. A lot of new potential customers are extremely excited about its release, I'm sure - including me.

My pet peeve with the GUI is the scarce information once you establish connection with your slave machines.

After connection I think the GUI should either start a wizard for placement of the slave or otherwise indicate strongly in the GUI where monitor placement is AND that it is the next step.

I almost forgot: Is there an option to have your slave machines to just one side of your main machine monitor? I couldn't figure it out with the GUI as is anyway.

I have installed Multiplicity twice and both times I connected and expected... something ...and then tried to connect again (even though there was nothing wrong with the connection).

Could an "advanced" option be to not copy a file to another machine just because you open a folder? I have been copying large ISOs (yes, I use VMWare in conjunction with Multiplicity) and every time I have copied an ISO to a machine that copy "hangs around" and when I go to one of my other slave machines and open a folder I get a new copy of the ISO file on that machine.

Otherwise, as I've said - it just works and works and is a real joy to use.
