Of course, you can see what will happen in 5 years:
  Everyone will be dependent on overlaid windows on high-resolution
  screens for all their activities.  The result will be *lots* of
  windows open at once, so that it is very hard to find the one you're
  looking for.  Someone will invent a system with a "window finder":
    all you have to do is type in the name of the window, and that
    window moves to the top.  If there is no such window, one is created
    for the corresponding function.  Soon, someone will realize
    that windows aren't necessary, because one can just as easily 
    type the name every time.
That's called progress.
