    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 find the mouse pointer to be the most useful feature in Windows, it is also my favorite.

                  Just love it when I copy a couple of dozens of files and find that some are already in the destination and when asking to keep or replace, "No to all" is not between the choices!

                                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.

                                    Somehow they missed that feature on my majorly screwed up XP system. It can take 3 to 15 minutes for a restart depending on its mood.

                                      The most efficient use of the four keys that form the third row on your QWERTY keyboard. Along with CTRL key: Z: Undo X: Cut C: Copy V: Paste Wouldn't this be simply powerful and most commonly used key combination?

                                      To add to that list: Ctrl+A -> Select all Ctrl+Y -> Redo I have actually wore out the left ctrl key on one keyboard because of the copy/paste shortcuts.
