Taking SharedView for a test drive

I needed to do some training remotely today. Typically I would use GotoMeeting for this, but I have been wanting to give SharedView a try and see how it worked.

You can grab the download here http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidSV?clid=1033&p1=1&p2=download_msi

Setup was nice and simple. Once it's installed you enter your windows live ID and you're ready to go.

There is an option to preview the window you are currently showing which I like.

Other than app sharing I didn't get too deep into the functionality. I did allow another user to take control of the session for a while. When I move my mouse it would affect him which I don't like. I'd like to be able to give control while I do some other work on my other monitor.

My coworker that took control for a while thought performance was "herky-jerky" so hopefully that can get a little smoother.

All in all though I liked what I saw.
