Though lets take this a bit further. Suppose one of our great
developers
wrote an application that listed all the windows on the system in some
UI
for a blind/disabled person to access. The user may choose to hide
and show
applications to work with a smaller data set (fewer windows).
In that case I believe the OS should return ALL the windows and the
developer of such a nice app would just not display windows from hidden
applications.
It's better not to have limitations in the OS. The limitations, usefull
for some users, have to implemented at a higher level, IMHO.
