      It is also colloqially known as 'Three-Fingered-Salute' right? And beyond doubts, it is a great tribute to David Bradley(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bradley_%28engineer%29[^]). :) Wiki Page on C+A+D: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Alt-Delete[^]

            Hey, Thanks for the info. I have been using two flat panel monitors at my workplace for around 2 years, did not know that was called as "windows multimonitoring". Mr. Gates uses three monitors for daily work(checking emails), if I am not wrong.

                  Multimonitoring means that only one PC (and mouse and keyboard) makes the work on all monitors. So you can move one window to the other monitor. I like it because I can move the non-liked stuff to the secondary screen.:-O

                                        I guess Windows multimonitoring capabilities are fairly nice, uncomplicated and usually just work. (Compared to the xorg.conf tweaking you have to go through with Linux)

                                        I agree. Everyone in my office uses two monitors and it really increases productivity. And unlike a lot of MS crap, it always just works. I've never had an issue with it.

                                        I didn't get any requirements for the signature

                                          My love with Windows? As opposed to what other OS's lack? I don't know other OS's too well but as a programmer I find the System Tray quite useful in order to make discretely running programs/services easily available and configurable by the user.
