Bill Gates uses three monitors

In CNN Money Bill Gates talks about how he works, and the very first thing he mentions is that he has three monitors:

On my desk I have three screens, synchronized to form a single desktop. I can drag items from one screen to the next. Once you have that large display area, you'll never go back, because it has a direct impact on productivity.

Wikipedia on multiple monitors

Wikipedia has an article on multiple monitors. It is mostly technical, doesn't say so much about why and how people use multiple monitors.
