[X-HW] Directing output to a second monitor

[CFlatow]

I'll go back to what I described in my first post.

In my opinion, to use a dual monitor setup most effectively for 
presentation involves setting up the various media, say PDF documents, 
Flash movies, Quicktime movies, etc on the primary monitor which the 
presenter is using as a console, and then being able to selectively hit 
  a button and deliver that to the second monitor (which would, in this 
case be a projector). Additionally one should be able to optionally 
populate that display with multiple windows (without borders) in 
various arrangements.

This seems to be a natural area in which the Mac would shine.
It seems to me to be an area of growing popularity.

It is not the same as saying that I can open Quicktime or Flash or 
Acrobat and drag a movie window over to the second display. I should be 
able to open any or all of these and direct the output of these media 
players to that second monitor without dragging and resizing windows by 
hand.

I don't understand why nobody has made this doable/easy on the Mac.
