I'm running it on a 3 monitor setup and so far so good, I wish they had included the notification area on each monitor, so among other things I can quicky glance at the time and date no matter what I have going on, also the monitor edge triggers are pretty much shot on a multi-monitor setup.

Beyond all that the biggest issue with Windows 8 for me at the moment is that they didn't include the Windows 7 Solitaire games.

Have they finally made it so that you can set per-screen wallpaper? I remember thinking that that was a really basic feature that was missing in win 7.

It doesn't look like you can, although it does allow you to span one image across all the monitors.

My video card driver allows it in Windows 7. The driver can also rotate display to portrait mode - one of these days I'll get a 3M monitor stand for that purpose.

The review itself was pretty lame. Nothing planned or thought out. It looks it was made in the urge of getting the first report out

Well, that was dull, and the reviewer didn't seem to know much about Windows (e.g. "only show Desktop on screen 1/2").
