This is definitely a weakness on OS X Lion's part, for Microsoft to go after.
They added a 'full screen' mode for apps, which makes the notebooks a bit easier to use in some circumstances, but on a desktop it basically turns ALL SCREENS into an extension of the one full screen for the one app. So a single app that opens lots of windows would all 'work' on this layout, but you can't mix and match full screen apps and/or windowed desktop with the 'new' full screen handling.
Things like 'Parallels', and games that already had 'full screen' mode still work the same with multiple screens, so I can still have a virtual machine running on a full monitor. It's just a bit of an annoyance.
