My guess for why it made it into Windows 8 isn't that it was randomly suddenly worthwhile, its because a multi-monitor setup becomes more important in the new workstation/tablet hybrid tool that Microsoft is creating. I carry my Surface around, using it as a laptop or tablet, but at home or at the lab, it plugs into larger external monitors to enable maximum productivity.
