Multiple Monitor Software for Windows 7 I've switched over to Windows 7 full time but really miss using Ultramon, is there any other similar software out there that works on Windows 7?

"Display Fusion works fine with Windows 7, in particular version 3.0.6 (released 2009-06-01).

They added glass and support for showing the app only on the monitor the windows is on (two key features to be usable on Windows 7).

Several Windows 7 features are still missing:

Jump Lists. This is the most obvious one.
Pinning the window (so there is a shortcut when app is closed)
Button combining -- DF does not support ""Always combine, hide labels"" mode (default in Windows 7), but looks OK with no combining.
Window previews -- not Windows 7 style, no close button, cannot show multiple apps / IE tabs at once.
Color is a off -- native Windows 7 toolbar seems darker, active window is highlighted differently. On mouse over, Windows 7 highlights in different colors, DF does not.

This is not meant to be picky - Display Fusion works well and is remarkably polished, but more remains to be done for full Windows 7 support. Pro version (required to support multiple taskbars) is $20, and well worth the price.

Other apps to watch (no Windows 7 support now, but probably coming up) are:

UltraMon $40
MultiMon free for basic version, $30 for advanced"

Dexpot is a great combination of a bunch of programs and offers virtual desktops, and is free.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned PowerStrip. I have always seen it recommended in multi-monitor discussions for years.
