There have been some problems in the past getting the incredibly useful utility Ultramon to run correctly on Windows 7, looks like that's now a thing of the past with a new beta version of Ultramon (3.0.9) available.

If you've never used it, Ultramon is a great way to extend the benefits of using multiple monitors in Windows 7 including adding a taskbar to the secondary displays and some extra controls to the top right corner of applications for things like moving an app to another display. Granted some of these functions are now built in to Windows 7 (you can flip applications to another monitor with Windows Key + Left/Right arrow). Download Ultramon here.

You may recall an earlier post on the DisplayFusion software, which is software that allows for multi-monitor desktop wallpaper (see here for details). If you had been using the DisplayFusion program, you may want to check out the new version, DisplayFusion 2. This utility, which offers cool features like flickr integration and the ability to stretch images across desktop screens, is now available in both a free version and a paid version, and includes some of the features missing from the prior release. The Pro version now lets you change your wallpaper on a timer and has tray menu item for changing to the next random wallpaper or freezing on the current one. The Pro version also offers the ability to to background image position fine tuning, configurable window size HotKeys, configurable window moving HotKeys, and more. For only $10, the new DisplayFusion 2 is a worthy (and less expensive!) competitor to UltraMon, another program that offers similar abilities.
