Users With Multiple Monitors: Lion's Full-Screen Apps Are Not For You

That's my room

I think that's a picture of my room in a parallel universe where I never got up the nerve to ask a girl out.

The guy had me at Asteroids on the ceiling but then lost me at the creepy huge Princess Leia.

Full screen apps are going to be great for those of us with 11" MBAs.

I have been using the Lion previews on an 11" MBA and full screen apps are, in fact, great on it.

Well, this sucks.

Well, if the point of fullscreen apps is to focus on the one task, it does seem like it would defeat the purpose to leave the other monitors busy.

Why do people keep saying lion isn't for power users? I can see that maybe this feature isn't, but things like server being a mere $50 upgrade, versioning, reader, resume and the upgraded file vault, and little things like clipboard sharing for screen sharing all seem like great features for power users. Sure, some of these features could be obtained with good third party software or terminal hacks, but doesn't the widespread nature and refining count for something?

I mean, almost anything apple does outside of a new file system or the elusive resolution independence would be stuff power users have come up with anterior methods of obtaining, no?

Yup, I noticed this. Mind you, I've never liked the idea of full-screen apps on a computer. IPad and iPhone fine but not on a computer. When you've got a 30" ACD you get used to having many programs and many windows open at a time. Expose is awesome with that. Even on my MBP I never use full screen mode in any apps, I find it too limiting - so many things require me to reference or copy something from another app or folder anyway.

I'm not that happy about Lion so far, the focus on full screen apps I can work around but the modification of how Spaces works is irritating - it looks like you can only have a row of spaces, no columns meaning those of us that are now used to working with a grid of spaces are stuffed.

Full screen apps are going to be great for those of us with 11" MBAs.

LOL!!! what a fail apple :D

I dont know why apple is so excited about full screen apps. I mean come on who wants iCal on full screen, especially when you use 2x30" and 2x23" screens!!!?? whats the point, like no kidding. I want my Safari window and pages doc open next to each other. I never ever make a window go across the entire screen apart from photoshop, illustrator, imovie, iphoto and formZ (which all need a fair amount of space :D)
Full screen is a feature i will use maybe like 2 times at the most to try it out!!
My opinion is apple should not make iOS and OS X become to similar, I dont want iOS running on 30" screens!!!, if i want to use iOS ill use my iPad!!!

Ya'know, not everyone has a twelve 30" screens and MacPros. Some of us "power users" (whatever a power user is) might just have little white MacBook and fund full screen mode is very useful when it's only a 13" screen.....

If you think fullscreen apps is the main feature of Lion then you were asleep during presentations.

Fullscreen apps are great for home users or those with just one main screen.

Well that is disappointing, you would think they would leave the other monitors alone

... Is this serious? People are complaining that "full screen" (meaning one screen) does not work on more than one screen? Asinine.
