Good evening folks,

Figured this could prove to be a bit interesting and mildly useful- which multi-monitor support program is the best?
I think the most well-known to most here is UltraMon, but I've recently heard of many good things about DisplayFusion and a couple others.

I believe DisplayFusion is supreme right now for Windows 7, since UltraMon has a couple bugs and features that need fixing.

What're your takes on this?
 
I guess it depends what you want from a program.
That I have seen there are five main features of the displayfusion/ultramon class of software ( http://www.kegetys.net/SoftTH/ being another notable multiple monitor type of thing).

Shortcuts- jump to other monitor or expand across them.
Alternative taskbar
Varying wallpaper.
Memory of window location (or rescue when it goes wrong)
Disable/enable or switch to clone/desktop expansion mode.

Indeed those that do not do much work with dual monitors tend to look at those extras as pointless- mainly the hook a laptop to the TV crowd.
Free or better open source does not really appear here
http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm has a free version
It should also be mentioned that most video drivers (at least those from amd-ATI, intel and NVIDIA- let us face it after those three there is nobody else) have a fair amount of options.

Likewise certain aspects of functionality (window snapping and the like) can be done by other pieces of software: http://blueonionsoftware.com/FreeSnap.aspx
