That's fascinating. And may need deep psychoanalyis to explain: why I
much prefer ETHO's method.
Interesting how you write "over lapped" [which ETHO is too], implying
that you don't see [become distracted by the other windows], but you
can know that they are available if/when you need them..

Don't you often need to co-ordinate 3 or more windows at the same time?

For me, the MicroSoft method is like having my one arm tied behind my back.
