As a multi monitor user doesn't Win8 provide a much better experience over Win7? Not saying this alone is worth an upgrade, but IIRC it's definitely better in a "would make you more productive" way
One great feature of it is that it puts a start bar on every monitor (not just your primary monitor) which makes switching between programs much easier. For some reason though they decided not to put the task area (which has the clock, etc.) on each start bar though, only the primary monitor.
Not really. There are features like having the taskbar visible on all screens, if you enable it. There are very minor improvements such as a 4px vertical "line" in each corner which helps you move the mouse to a corner adjacent to another screen without accidentally overshooting. But nothing major in my experience.
