BTW for one on one sharing Chrome's Remote Desktop works very well. Sharing/access works for Windows, Linux and Mac (screenhero appears to be Mac only at the moment). When you share a screen a long numeric code is provided which you give to the other party. They also have a mode where you can export your own systems and access them when no one is at the console. That only works for Mac and Windows. Hopefully competition will start heating up. I want to see my desktops on mobile devices and my mobile devices on desktops. I want sound, clipboards and storage. I want a better solutions to screen size disparities.

I'm currently on a MBA 11" and my girlfriend does her big data analysis on a 24" Cinema display, so sharing a full screen is no option. The idea of being able to only share a certain window is fantastic. But you're right, this is a space with lots of potential. X11 could do all this and more already in 1996 one can even connect multiple mice / keyboards; it is sad that this function never really made it into other operating systems, although on the other hand X11 had lots of other issues due to the complex architecture to allow for network sharing of invididual screens.

  > so sharing a full screen is no option CRD and VNC viewers I use all support scaling so that solves things when the resolutions aren't too disparate. I can imagine a solution involving scaling and (automatic) panning would work quite well. > The idea of being able to only share a certain window is fantastic For that I use Skype which lets you share an arbitrary rectangle. Unfortunately the viewer has no control.
