quite apart from the article itself, I'm reminded of how much we put up with from our operating systems. presentations and screen sharing have been a fact of life for a couple of decades now; why is it so hard to tell the operating system to strictly not allow anything other than that one window access to the screen?
there are operating systems where this is not hard at all.
which ones, and what is the mechanism to do it? from what I've seen of both linux and windows there is no good central way to toggle this efficiently, and evidently macs also leave it up to various applications to be well behaved.
