->Windows will do dual heads, but I don't think you can get dual desktops without third party tools.

You were corrected on this by someone not long ago. Already forgot?

Again, the troll sticks its nose in where it is unwanted.

It said:

in response to what I said: 

OTOH, running dual head with either separate desktops (my personal preference) or with one desktop spanning both monitors rocks. Windows will do dual heads, but I don't think you can get dual desktops without third party tools.

The troll's reading comprehension is lacking.

The tool you recommend is a poor substitute for a real window manager. As described on microsoft's site:

Virtual Desktop Manager

Manage up to four desktops from the Windows taskbar with this PowerToy.

 As I've said previously, I regularly use 8 virtual desktops. In the dual head setup I described above, I was talking about two separate desktops running on one computer. I'm not just talking multiple virtual desktops. At the moment, my dual head setup has two desktops, that you can copy and paste across, each with 8 separate virtuals.

Do that with windows, take a picture, and get back to me troll.
