I run 2 have done for 10years I guess, old matrox G400 was 1 of the first cards to support it, life without it would suck, normally a Ipad mini with more charts on aswell!! There are Virtual Desktop apps around, if you want to stick with 1 monitor, I see Windows 10 out end of the year ish, will support it as standard aswell. Also, put Joe on ignore, ET is a much much much better place
Wow. Microsoft will actually be the first to implement it without having to buy out or cannibalize an existing vendor. Thanks for the info.

Seen there new VR Holo system, projects graphics in 3d onto other real object, sounds interesting. http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/21/7868251/microsoft-hololens-hologram-hands-on-experience Windows 10, free upgrade for all 7 or 8.1 users aswell, nice.
My problem with virtual desktops is the need to toggle need to toggle between screens. One heads up display would be nice.
Rift for that full can't do anything else, look around and have 20 virtual desktops. Or new microsoft 1, can still see stuff, but have virtual screens coming out of your desk / in the walls off the floor Good times!!
I'd buy this monitor next. But I may have to assemble/fabricate my own desk stand, as the factory one is non-adjustable. From people's comments, apparently nothing beats the lighting quality of the apple cinema display. So, I have equal incentive to keep using my 30 inch. I have been using lowest light setting for 5 years and have not a single complaint. At maximum brightness, it'd blind me. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-BDM4065UC-UHD-40-Inch-Monitor/dp/B00OO9YWR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422115288&sr=8-1&keywords=40 inch monitor
That's a perfect example of what I was talking about. Now, if we could get a software or hardware solution that could get multiple PC screens onto one monitor at the same time... It is common in the Healthcare industry....which tends to have more advanced visual setups.
I'm just guessing here. Remote Desktop may have too much overhead (tunneling the applicaion layer) like virtual machines. I need something close to hardware that combines the PC screens. Heck, if we had Windows 3.1 I could just click View-->Tile Windows. But then, all my apps were DOS and weren't multi-tasking. Now I have different apps running on different machines.
