    Any chance to remove Charm bar, Start and Hot corners from secondary display? Like Switcher...

    Basically, why would I need such a big button anyway? It does the exact same thing as Windows 8, but now it is just an button, most times I just throw my cursor in the downer left corner. And it makes more space to pin items on the taskbar if it is not there.

    I hope that somebody like HB will code simple app, what will make W8-1 button dissapear like in W8-0 to save space and leave only active corner there for Start Screen...

    BTW: W8-1 Features (pros and cons):
    (+) Boot to desktop
    (+) Immersive Control Panel Tile
    (0) Power Shell v4
    (0) IE 11
    (-) Crippled ReFS support (no ReFS formating)
    (-) Big button to Start Screen
    (-) Special Down Arrow for All-Apps Screen (Shouldn't be only tiles and text there according the Metro specs?)
    I didn't noticed anything more...

    So... so far no reason to upgrade...

    I suppose there are some core improvements as well? That is only what is visible, there should be a lot more...

    Well, I suppose W8-0 and W8-1 are quite same. :)

    (+) Support different DPI on secondary monitor
    (-) Not working "WIN + PgUp/PgDown" to switch Start screen between multiple monitors

    As I said 14 days before, HB has made it.
    BTW: v2-0 has multimonitor support...
