The issue isn't the number of desktops. There is never enough space in the current foxpro window.

I have been considering a second monitor myself. If it works as I hope it will, my Foxpro development screen could extend across both monitors. The debug frame, command window and Data session window would be on one monitor, and the current form and code windows on the other. I don't believe that both monitors must be the same size - an old 14" monitor would be a great help. I believe there is a requirement that both video cards be PCI, though.
