I can't figure it out, and as such I am assuming this rather obvious feature is not available on 8.
I would like my start screen to stay maximized on my second display while I work on my main display. Every time I have start open on my 2nd monitor and click on the primary monitor start minimizes. I don't get the point of this, and as suggestion would be appreciated.

No answers on this? I installed 8 about 2 hours ago and I was blown away I couldn't find an option for this. Seems very obvious for 2 monitor setups. Having the start screen static on monitor 2 would make up for not having widgets big time.
