Excuse me while I dork out. (Synergy on Ubuntu and Windows)
I read today about the program Synergy, which lets you move a mouse (and copy and paste) across multiple systems as if they were one desktop. I’ve been wishing for something like this for a while, but figured it was impossible. I have the Linux monitor next to the Windows Machine, and have been using a KVM (minus the M) switch to switch my keyboard and mouse between them. With Synergy I can just move my mouse over. I can also copy and paste text and images.
In possibly my dorkiest move ever, I videotaped a demo (albeit a crappy quality one)
Here I am copying an image from the windows machine and pasting it in Ubuntu. HOW FRIGGIN’ COOL IS THAT?!?!
You can find better demos on Youtube (just look for “synergy” and “linux”)

You are the coolest dork ever!
awesome
I love my ubuntu but need windows every now and then. I run a virtual machine with XP on it, but that is pretty neat what you are doing.
