I'm amazed at the number of people that use maximized windows, one 
application at a time. I have 2 1600x1200 displays, with 10-30 
overlapping windows partially visible, and sometimes wish I had 3 
displays, so I could see more windows at a time... but then I'd have to 
turn my head more, so maybe this is optimal. Two displays lets me get 
my autohidden taskbar in the vertical center, for quick access from 
either side.
I occasionally maximize a window on one screen or the other (one 
portrait, one landscape mode), mostly for picture viewing, but a few 
other times as well.

No doubt I am too :) Everyone is a minority, when all idiotsyncrasies 
[sic] are considered!
