Is there any way that you can give vista the capability of letting the the
user simultaneously use both the typical windows user interface (ms word,
internet explorer, regular windows function) on a primary display (monitor),
and on the secondary display(typically a tv out), media center being
displayed exclusively on that monitor.
The present problem and common scenario is if my roommate wants to watch tv
while i am using the computer for something important. He is out of luck. I
would have to stop what i am doing, open media center and drag it to the
second display (he tv), and maximize it so that he can watch
tv/videos/movies. That puts me out of luck then.
At this point, It is either one or the other.
Perhaps, an option to have media center exclusively function in the
secondary display would work great. Also, since the media center remote
control's up down left and right is the same as the keyboard's up down left
and right, it would be nice if the keyboard commands do not interfere with
the media center on the second display.
I hope this makes sense, this would really solve problems around the house.
I have asked around other forums and this is a common complaint that i'm
surprised was not resolved for vista.
