It looks cool. @Steve, I’ll try it out sometime. It looks cool.

I found it: Microsoft did it in India: http://www.microsoft.com/unlimitedpotential/programs/multipoint.mspx its a "application" based solution, not a OS overall solution. I'm still looking for a Windows implementation of VNC for multiple mouse cursors, I have found that windows can either have a "Split Screen" solution for use of two mice, with two windows session on each other, as of betwin does. kind regards Renato YES!

When I was doing projects in Squeak back in college, I seem to remember the concept of multiple "hands." In my case, I was scripting an avatar that would click on stuff for the user in order to teach them how to use squeak. Can't remember about multiple focus itself - that may have assumed single user. OpenCroquet looks pretty cool - looks like an upgraded Wonderland (the 3d api written by Jeff Peirce). Actually, I think that the squeak UI generally allows for multiple users.

I know I'm frequently Lisp/Smalltalk-crazy, but OpenCroquet is probably the closest thing to what you're describing here. What’s up dude.
