Can I use my laptop as a second monitor for my desk computer?

I have a working laptop (laptop A), but am interested in using the laptop's LCD as a secondary monitor for my main laptop (laptop B)...is there a way to do this via software or cabling without modifying laptop A? OS's are Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.

Update: Software must be free, and a bonus if I can switch between using Laptop A as a secondary monitor and its regular desktop.

    take a look at [x2vnc](http://fredrik.hubbe.net/x2vnc.html) and [win2vnc](http://fredrik.hubbe.net/win2vnc.html). i just ran across them today, so i don't know for sure, but it sounds like that will do the trick. – quack quixote May 06 '10 at 22:15

  • @BBlake, MaxiVista is not free, and ZoneOS looks interesting...however, ZoneOS does not seem to be compatible with Win7 quite yet... – studiohack Apr 09 '10 at 17:38
