Software like Synergy that also works with windows

I'm using Synergy to control both a desktop and a laptop with a single set of mouse/keyboard. Unfortunately my desktop monitor is rather small (to programmer standards). I'd like to drag windows from my desktop and carry them to the laptop

Is there any software that can do this?

You appear to be trying to move a running program from one machine to another. Not generally possible, and certainly not on any Windows based system that I know of.

update You can't (generally) use your laptop screen as a second screen for your desktop, though it's quite likely you could use your monitor as an additional screen from your laptop.

Short version - buy a bigger screen (or better two) for your desktop computer. You will save more time and effort (ergo: money for your employers) in the space of a few months than trying to hack around with multiple computers to do what could be trivially accomplished with a decent gfx card and a couple of $100 screens.
