Like many of my fellow geek brethren I run a dual monitor setup both at home and at work. Right here I could spout off 5 different studies that talk about the virtues of multi-monitor-multi-tasking, but truthfully, either you've never tried dualhead or you can't afford two monitors, or your running a dualhead setup. Single-monitor computing feels like I'm missing a limb. To be really productive I've gotta have two monitors. If you too are a parishioner at the church of dualhead you'll want to check out UltraMon. UltraMon basically fixes most of the issues that Microsoft left unresolved in their implementation of multiple monitor support. Stuff like a taskbar that can tell which programs are on which monitors, proper multi-monitor-spanning wallpaper, hotkeys and buttons for switching apps between monitors or maximizing one application across multiple monitors, the list goes on. UltraMon borders dangerously close to an essential piece of software for the dualhead inclined. I can't, however, recommend it without reserve. Realtime Software figures that the software is worth $39.95US per license (slight discount if buying in bulk). Sorry guys, but that's just too much to ask for a Windows utility considering an OEM copy of Windows XP Pro is under $100US.Linkage - UltraMon 2.7.1 (x64 here) - Site
