Microsoft launches public beta for SharedView

Microsoft has brought its Tahiti screen sharing program out of private beta and given it a new, more descriptive name: SharedView.

The program lets up to 15 users connect to your computer over the internet and see what's on your screen. You can also grant other users control over your screen, which is useful for collaborating on projects or presentations. You regain control of your screen with a click of your mouse should someone start to get naughty with your PC.

You can also share files, and a future release will include audio, chat, and generally have a good old fashioned office meeting (without the office).

There haven't been many major changes since the initial release, but the new version does feature some interface tweaks. SharedView requires Windows XP or Vista.
