    Really very different functionality. Multiplicity is for locally sharing keyboard/mouse across multiple computers. Aeroadmin is remote desktop software.

    Shares peripherals ONLY between computers with their own screens, multiplicity uses a single computer, to virtually kvm switch between computers using the same monitor as well as peripherals.
