Concept Image By: Itworld.com Microsoft is rumored to be building better multi-monitor support for Windows 8, according to reports. Group policy objects discovered in the latest leak of Windows 8 are hinting at the ability for Windows 8 users to display their taskbar across more than one display. ITWorld recently discovered the feature alongside what appears to be a 3G / 4G cost limiter feature and improved crash detection. The setting refers to a new “Multiple Display” section in the taskbar properties dialog. The feature is currently missing in leaked builds but the references in the group policy all appear to confirm that Microsoft is working on improved multi-monitor support. The folks over at ITWorld also discovered a 3G / 4G limiter as mentioned previously. It is designed to limit data costs for mobile connections. Admins can choose between restricted modes to cap the amount of data that devices use. Roaming connections can also be disabled. The final discovery is related to crash detection. Microsoft appears to be tweaking its Program Compatibility Assistant (PCA) to increase the stability of Windows 8. ITWorld discovered settings related to advanced application crash monitoring, capable of detecting more software compatibility issues. Microsoft previously promised better and more “proper implementation” of the multi-monitor taskbar as far back as the 2008 PDC. Windows 7 users currently have to use third-party solutions to enable a multi-monitor taskbar support feature. Read more Authors:
