KVM Switch
Looking at buying a KVM switch so I can hook my MacBook upto my desktop without unplugging everything. I've come across this Belkin 2 port one, usb and with audio. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/120041

My concern is the only OS listed are as follows: OS Required - Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, Microsoft Windows 2000 / XP, Apple MacOS X 10.0 or later.

No mention of Vista 64 which is what my desktop uses, does the OS really matter for a KVM switch? I thought all the work was done by the switch itself and the computer didn't really know any different where the feeds were coming from.

Cheers

The KVM has no idea what OS you're using, and it doesn't care. It just does the physical routing from one input to the output, there's no software involved. As long as you provide native inputs and outputs it will work (ie straight usb and vga, no usb-ps2 converters or dvi-vga converters). I used one in the past to switch between a Linux box and a Windows box, so I speak from experience.
