How many monitors do you have?

Yes, that's a real workstation.... click on the picture to make it larger...Quad Matrox video card with 4 matching monitors.  And the question that I still haven't answered yet is, can Vista handle multiple monitors at both ends of a remote desktop connection?  Right now I'm seeing a lot of folks asking if RWW supports the use of multiple monitors (the Accounting industry is big on multi monitors) and the only way you can 'trick it' is by logging into a RWW session on your desktop on one screen and then on a Terminal server session on a member server on screen two.  Not exactly the nicest answer but it's the best we can do.

I think that some of the other remote apps like gotomypc do support multiple monitors.

4 monitors here too; 2 18" TFT's on the outside, 2 19" in the middle. Found it essential for support - 1 screen dedicated to mail, one for Net, one screen for RDP and final screen for notes/word/msn etc.
Forget CPU power - screen power is where it's at!

Also 4 here, 3 19" CRTS and 1 15" flatscreen turned on it's side so it's in portrait mode.  Saving up to replace the CRT's with 19" LCD's.

3 and when I RWW in I often have to drag an open window that is sitting on another monitor into view.

For those that never did W3.1.....

Right click the window identifier in the Primary Monitor Task Bar (the monitor that appears when you RWW into multiple monitors)
Left click MOVE
Use the arrow keys to drive the window into view on the Primary monitor.
Actually as soon as you have clicked an arrow key it sticks the mouse to the title bar so you can bring it the rest of the way into view with the mouse.
