Agreed with others. Should be just the same as a second monitor. Windows has great build-in options to arange the screens. Nvidea and AMD also have software for that, although I do prefer the stock windows options. (in XP and win 7, haven't looked into the newer windows versions)

 

Sound will most likely come from a single set of speakers/headphones, not sure how you could change that with a single audio output device.

As everyone else has said, you should be able to plug it in as a second monitor and then you just have to worry about the configuration in windows.  Main issue I could see is the scaling when you move items from your monitor to the projector.
