Interesting you mention three monitors. I run three and would use four if I had the space.

When I came to my present position in 05 even the IT folks looked askance at my use of dual monitors. Personally, I don't how any serious user can get by with less.

Point is, I was using three monitors in 1995 with my Video Toaster setup, with the 3rd being an NTSC video monitor for preview. It was another several years before MS began to support even 2.

Well, I suppose we'll catch up to the past eventually.

Must be some form of regression in progression. My reason for not switching to W7 on this particular machine is that it dies with a multi-monitor set-up...but I think that my nVidia's fault more than MS.

Had the same , but not only, problem with Vista.

I'm thinking that maybe a chair in the centre of circular desk set-up with monitors all around - or one continuous tubular piece of glass capable of displaying multi-screens in a seamless panorama. :-)

MS in a nutshell...
