Windows has supported multiple monitors for as long as graphic cards have had two or more display ports. At the same time though, Windows to this day still does not support multiple monitors when it comes to the taskbar. Multiple-monitor setups are becoming more common, and there are always developers, gamers, and enthusiasts who don't know what to do when they're given a desktop with just one monitor. These groups of people have resorted to using third-party solutions that give them the functionality they need, but what they really want is support right out of the box. Chaitanya Sareen, a senior program manager on the Windows 7 Core User Experience team, has taken the time to address this request on the E7 blog.
