Comparison of multi-monitor software

First of all, Windows is the most common, but not the only OS. Second, Wikipedia is not a directory or a software repository. Third, this is not an encylopedic comparison. Jasper Deng (talk) 04:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as current content only makes it harder to write an appropriate comparison (if needed at all). P.S.: it seems that the current implied consensus is to include only the contestants that have their own articles, but in this case it renders the comparison senseless. — Dmitrij D.

°Don't be rediculous, this is an incredibly useful article. If you don't you Windows then why not improve it with other OS's instead of proposing to delete something I found on Google and helped me alot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.43.77 (talk) 18:48, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's purpose is not this.Jasper Deng (talk) 19:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found this article useful - but I think adding info on additional OS would be even more useful. I'd like to see info on Unix, Linux, Mac, and whether Windows emulation programs could run the software on different OS. Gramery (talk) 21:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On that note, most likely not since display drivers are below what emulators can give in OS architecture. The article as it stands is a violation of WP:NOTDIR; we'd like to see other articles on software besides the one piece that has an article already.Jasper Deng (talk) 22:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The current version of the article is too Windows-centric, it can't be amended with other platforms. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 00:11, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
