Dual Monitors and IxD for software (was RE: Menu bar on Macintoshes.)

Does the dual monitor experience (long time on Mac, recent for Windows)
change any of this discussion? If so how?

I know that I use my computer very differently at work than I do at home (or
when I'm using my work laptop) b/c one has dual and one doesn't.

My "multimedia" softare: Visio, Photoshop, Fireworks, Flash ... I maximize
in dual monitor, but not in single unless I know I'm completely focused. I
mean that is something to consider ... Is work mode. The reason I can
maximize on the dual is that I have this whole other canvas available. The
first time I saw dual monitor I loved it ... I loved the idea of having a
work area separate from my canvas.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw another angle into all this.
