Interesting. So if I type a password on the keyboard for one of my non directly connected computers (and maybe even for the directly connected one as well?), then that password travels up to the cloud and sent down to the other machine from the mothership, the driver picks it up and emulates if it was typed there? Or the drivers establish an ad-hoc connection via the local intranet? (probably not because that would restrict generic usage). This gives me a pucker factor and triggers a twitch against keyloggers....
