Like no copy and paste in iOS? Apple has a history of not adding features just because no matter how useful they would be and no matter how much it is holding back its users. That is arrogant, not the user asking for features that is standard for most.

This is just wrong. Windows since at least windows xp shows something on all screens as default. You sound like a Mac user who doesn't know Windows. FYI I use Linux primarily so unlike you I'm not biased (I think both has it uses but both also suck).
- danaris 6y ago> This is just wrong Oh, yes, thank you for telling me my personal experiences don't exist. I have had this happen to me on multiple occasions when setting up Windows—XP and later—machines with multiple display interfaces. Plug into VGA—nothing. Plug into one of the DisplayPorts—nothing. Plug into the other DisplayPort—OK, there's the primary. (Or, worse, plug into the bizarre double-DVI with a special adapter, that one's the primary.)
