Multiple Monitors With Windows Vista – Revisited

I posted a while a back about support for multiple monitors in Windows Vista and how i felt lots of people were in a panic for no good reason

Turns out this was one of the most popular posts on this blog according to the stats

I never mentioned in my original post where i got my information from

Here you go, the official Microsoft stance

I’ve been running Vista for some time now (since the start of February) and i CANNOT live without two monitors (i’m looking to get some more once i can get the pursestrings loosened!)

My desktop is a HP dc5150. The graphics card that comes with this is a ATI Radeon Express 200 and has a VGA and a DVI output. I just plugged in a couple of screens and away i went.

I have Aero interface and no issues.

When i make the move to three (four?) screens i’ll be very picky about which card i buy as the article i quoted earlier outlines.
