Macs DO come with a display adapter that can handle more than one display, so why would you need this? Furthermore, the Mac display adapter can handle the second display as a 2nd display, or as a mirror to the first, and for laptops, it'll be the primary display if the laptop is closed and AC powered, which makes it easy to dock with a large monitor.

Why would we need this? Because no one actually owns the machine you are speaking of. Sure we all come, click around and play with the cute little machines you call Macs at Apple stores, but we laugh and point at those hauling these cutsies to their respective homes. Its like wow; you just want to keep playing with it. So vain.

Please be aware that windows vista does not support heterogeneous display adapter support for wddm 1.0 drivers.

Translation: If your system is nvidia, get an nvidia dongle. It it's at, get an ati dongle.

Windows 7 allows for heterogeneous displays, but only with wddm 1.1 drivers.
