The setup I've used for years probably provides 98% of the benefits of multiple monitors, without the extra physical monitors. Long standard practice with Linux, I use four DESKTOPS. There's a little panel in the taskbar to switch desktops on the same monitor, or I could drag Windows between them.

Desktop 1 is email and browser, desktop 2 is ssh sessions to various servers, desktop 3 music and a root prompt for local machines, and desktop 4 is for testing content.

I would guess Windows could do the same by now since Linux has had the capability built in for at least fourteen years. Gates doesn't like to fall more than ten to fifteen years behind, generally.
