Swordfish comp

[Glitchny]

I know this may sound like an odd question, but does anybody know what OS is being used in the movie "Swordfish" to run his 6 flatscreen monitor setup? Does windows support this at all, or is it somethng tottally made up? And what kind of hardware would you need to set up a system like that?

I bet it's some fake thing. All those movies seem to have neat looking GUIs that are totally impractical.

I don't know about the OS as I haven't seen the movie, but Windows 98 can handle up to 9 screens.

I remember going to the launch of 98 and they made a big deal about this.
