    Most laptops don't have any support for video input, and thus cannot be used as a second monitor for another PC or laptop, at least via VGA/DVI/HDMI cables.

    Are there any software solutions that allow for this? The only one I know of is Maxivista, which ironically is almost broken on Vista and doesn't work at all on Windows 7.
