Supreme Commander allowed you a minimal view on your alternative monitor. It was neat but I felt it wasn’t particularly awesome or anything.

Supreme Commander also allowed continuous zoom because the maps were generally much larger than Starcraft.

I HATED the fact that Starcraft II wouldn't let me do this when it first came out.

I loved Starcraft I, but the emphasis on twitchy play meant that I simply couldn't be bothered to finish Starcraft II.

:) You should have tried to scroll!

I know several of the later games, and even the first games (as far as I remember) allowed two fully independent screens with the UI buttons only appearing on the first one - I used the heck out of it.
