I suspect this question should be split. I hadn't used Windows and Macs for years, but I suspect any modern software can handle the hardware. The tricky part is the window manager: making sure windows behave right when moved from one screen to the next. For that, the only things that works for _me_ is XMonad, simply because it does not bind a workspace (virtual desktop) to a physical monitor for life. I have a set of N workspaces, any of which I can display on any physical monitor connected, as long as only a given monitor shows a given desktop. I'm yet to find a way to replicate it with any other window manager.

The sad thing is that after using xmonad for the last few months I'm confident having xmonad style virtual workspaces independent from the monitors is ultimately the best solution. At one point I want IDE|chat split. The other time Browser|IDE split. The other time IDE|Browser (reversed for better screen exposure). Absolutely perfect. Plus tiling, tile navigation-resize and no window decorators. But I'm still looking at the next OS X and hoping to move there just to have all tools in one box. Right now having some of the work in another less configured macbook laptop is wasting my time.
