Only a pity such things never work... outside of nice presentations.

Multi-touch and clickless UIs are funny conceptual toys, I agree. But ol' good computer mice are here to stay. For a loooong time. And that's good. Because everyone who ever used at least a laptop touchpad knows from personal experience that mouse is a nearly perfect input device (if compared with the existing alternatives) for day-to-day work.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that one day I will be able to assign a pointer and keyboard to a user thats NOT the primary user. Until then, this will remain a very cool, but insecure function for collaboration.
