> But now you don't have granular sharing mechanisms Many (Windows) apps support OLE/COM-based objects which can be copied, mixed and processed in between applications. This allows the clipboard to hold rich objects and not just text-based contents. Things like tables, images, rich text, contacts... and even files, or folders of files! This allows for a much more rich (and empowering!) way to share data than currently done on popular mobile platforms. This was already implemented back in Windows 95 or something. It's really old tech. Not sure how well this concept is implemented (or at all) on other desktop operating systems though, so it might not be a "universal" desktop solution for everyone. That said it can clearly be done better than mobile, because on Windows it has already been so for two and half decades.
