Description
In Windows, the desktop space is the area inside the MDI window (sometimes referred to as the
client area). This doesn’t include any virtual space available through the scrolling of the MDI window.
In the Mac OS, the desktop space is the area on the main monitor excluding the menu bars. The
main monitor is where the menu bar is located.
