Display problems; computer upgrades can void license
vindicator2002November 6, 2013
Pros
Good idea in theory.
Cons
1) Garbles the display in Windows 7 with certain AMD graphics cards, with ghosting and refresh problems causing unusable display on both the main station and the secondary user stations. Technical support could not satisfactorily resolve the problem despite multiple attempts, and no fix is on the way. I have been forced to work around the problem by reducing picture quality, which I should not have to do. 2) Do not attempt to upgrade any computer components. The software must be re-activated each time, and Thinsoft claims to have the right to refuse such re-activation in its sole discretion. After I have been a paying user since 2008, Thinsoft refused to reactivate the software when I replaced a couple of components, and demanded that I pay $99 to use the software that I already bought.
Summary
The idea of this product is a good one, but this developer's execution is not worth the $99 sticker price. You are better off spending a few more dollars and purchasing a second computer.

Developer’s Description

By ThinSoft Pte

Share the computing power of a single computer between two to five users.

BeTwin is a software that enables two to five users to share the computing power of a single computer, i.e. the Host PC. It creates a virtual PC station for each user to simultaneously and independently operate in each station, similar to the user operating on the Host PC.

It makes use of the pre-emptive multitasking feature of the Windows operating system to fully utilize the unused processing power in processors and enables users to run the same or different applications simultaneously and independently to create and edit documents, and to share peripherals, for example, CD-ROM, printers and other hardware installed on the Host PC. All users can also surf the Internet and access emails at the same time using only one modem, one telephone line, one ISP account and even share network access with unique customized desktop and network login.
