+# Multi monitor support
+
+See also #6 and #323
+
+## Windows server support
+
+- Only in full scren
+
+### WINDOWS 2003 till WINDOWS 2008 (XP, Vista)
+
+- Only using span. One big bitmap for all monitors
+- Going out of fullscreen we still have a huge bitmap as the server cannot be reconfigured.
+- Removing a montor is not possible, we will have a window with the huge bitmap.
+- As conswquence we can go back to fullscreen with any impact.
+
+### WINDOWS 2008R2, WINDOWS 2012 (Win7, Win8)
+
+- First basic, real multi monitor support, the server is aware of each monitor and places the windows correctly.
+- Yet, it doesn't support the configuration change awareness.
+- Same behaviors as above.
+
+### WINDOWS 2012R2, WINDOWS 2016 (Win 8.1, Win 10) and forward
+
+"Display Control Virtual Channel Extension" has been implemented, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn366738.aspx
+
+Every time we add qand remove a monitor, the remote server adapt its configuration.
