Yes, I do it all the time with Synergy http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ its an open source application that allows you to use 1 keyboard and mouse on mutable computers even if there running different OS's. It also will carry you clipbord info from 1 computer to another. |

I think what you are looking for is shareclip. Install it on both the Mac and PC. Connect from one to the other via IP. Copying on one instantly shares it to the other machines clip-board. Super easy. |

What about a shared Google Document, or PasteBin which works like a charm (for sure you don't really share a clipboard, but you can access this shared space easily from both computers). |

The only cross-platform solution I'm aware of, besides Synergy, is CrossClip. I have no experience with it, and I don't know if it's compatible with Windows 7 or the latest versions of MacOS X. It appears that it hasn't been updated in a while, but maybe it still works. |

Another web-based not quite clipboard but maybe good enough: Cl1p.net — and if you are a quicksilver user there is a plugin... |

Microsoft Remote Desktop will do that for you. The Mac client is free. Download that, sit in front of the Mac, and have a remote Windows desktop. Enjoy copying and pasting. |

If you connect from one to the other via LogMeIn you can, I believe. Otherwise, in what context would you want to do this? |
