If I have a trial install of Pro, then go buy the Pro Upgrade off the Ultimate Steal site, can I just throw that key in and go about my business, or will it be pissy it wasn't an upgrade install?

Is there a way to enable dual monitors where it functions as a separate desktop where I have a hotkey to swap between? I don't like my cursor flying off the side of the screen onto an extended desktop, but I want to use a second monitor.

Is it possible to have a multiple monitor setup in Win7 where it requires a keystroke to jump between monitors instead of just stretching the desktop across both?

That seems unlikely, unless you just mean limited time free upgrade programs (like we've had for xp computers bought within a certain number of months before vista, vista before a time ahead of 7 etc)


There was never a Windows 2.5, just 2.0, 2.10 and 2.11 (2.11 being similar in nature to 3.11 vs 3.1).
President of Microsoft Indonesia confirmed (the next Windows) would be a free upgrade, for whatever that's worth.

But... the metro start screen is itself a launch list/start menu. Why do you need a secondary one? How do you discriminate between what hangs out on the left sidebar and what gets a live tile? It doesn't make any sense, and adds unnecessary clutter to the metro environment. If you need to find a random file or app just start typing...
They're appeasing people like me who hate the entire Metro user experience and just want their Win7 start menu back...and then stapling the metro start screen to the side of that for some reason. I will either ignore or (hopefully) disable it.

The normal mode of operation if you don't have a touch screen is to just show a start menu, none of the start tile screen stuff at all.
