At WWDC, they showed that Mountain Lion would enable multi-monitor fullscreen support. But yes, they shouldn't expect Apple to be their friend and hold true to their word.

"Friend"? No. Stand by their word? I expect that form everyone but am often disappointed. Don't say things you don't intend to follow through on. It makes you untrustworthy. This is probably why Apple stays mum on everydamnthing - the individual employees might mean well, might think something is fully plausible, but then business agendas change, contracts get in the way, and ultimately the corporation doesn't deliver. Easier to just keep your mouth shut and deliver what you deliver. Do I trust people to keep their words? Not immediately - first we try, then we trust.

  I think you are missing the point. I think Jackson actually meant the last bit as sarcasm.

> At WWDC, they showed that Mountain Lion would enable multi-monitor fullscreen support But that support is still garbage. Slightly less than Lion's, but still: "multi-monitor fullscreen support" only means that applications will go fullscreen on the (physical) screen they are currently on rather than move to the primary screen (which for a laptop is the "internal" one, making your 27" Cinema Display a very nice mirror and not much else) as is the behavior in Lion. Fullscreen Mode will still only allow you to use a single physical screen.

  >Fullscreen Mode will still only allow you to use a single physical screen. Oh, the humanity! How about using NON fullscreen mode then? Like, say, _maximize_? Complaining about the full screen feature "being broken in multi screen mode", when other platforms don't even offer it in a single screen?

    You didn't really bother yourself with all that thinking stuff before posting this one, now did you?

    These were features that were removed from Apple's apps with the release of Lion. You can understand that people would be upset. Something worked, a specific way, and then when a new release of the OS comes out and the software is updated, suddenly, it has suddenly removed features you'd used in your daily work flow. It's not as if this idea, this concept never existed. > when other platforms don't even offer it in a single screen? They do though, and they do it well, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
