first problem arises if we were to provide GoToMyPC clients for multi-touch
platforms (iPad/Android tablets): how can we map multi-touch inputs to a host
inherently designed for mouse and keyboard? Here is a second question we’d like
to answer. With the recent release of Windows 7, desktops now have native
