At this time the Metro start page and Metro applications will only run on one monitor, you may, however, choose which of your monitors to use. Other monitors will display the traditional desktop.

Hi there
Currently "No way Jose" which rather limits the whole "Usefulness" (or otherwise !!) of the Metro idea on laptops / desktops with multiple / large monitors.

The basic idea of Metro was I think to emulate Tablets or smart phones -- full screen interface via Metro is usually fine for these types of devices.

Not sure how MS will resolve the conflict in the way Laptop / traditional PC users use their machines and those who just want to use W8 on touch screen tablet or smart phone devices.

Over to you MS.

Cheers
