Does MAYA support the use of two monitors? With so many menus and options windows, the modeling window gets kinda small. It would be nice to park the HyperGraph and Outliner on a second monitor.

edit: Just answered my own question. It does.

Yes it does. The design is based off Qt. You can rip off panels all you want and rearrange them.

Its the most useful thing in the world. One screen for windows galore, the other for the main screen.

i have worked both ways and really two monitors is so much easier and better not only with Maya but also to have PS open or other windows you need while working.
