RE: Bit of success with Windows MCE...

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I "believe" it is, - but ISTR it requires that you run the
MCE interface
in windowed mode, rather than fullscreen... Then I believe the MCE
interface window can be placed on any monitor... - AIUI MCE running in
fulscreen mode can only use the primary monitor... - although, I don't
see why you shouldn't still be able to configure & use a secondary
monitor for "normal" computing... - I haven't played with doing
any of
these things, since I don't want to use my MCE machine for such
purposes...

I'd agree that doing so probably isn't wise....
