I can't understand this at all. I use multiple windows quite frequently -- I would estimate 40% of the time. Usually I have a document open in one window that I am modifying and another window in which I am searching for information -- browsing, reading other documents, etc. If I am consuming only (and not generating content) then one window at a time suffices, but creating usually requires me to have sources open and available. This is one of the reasons why I can use tablets to consume content, but not really to generate it.
Am I unusual in this? Or perhaps is window use becoming less common because people are producing less content, either because they become passive consumers or because they are interactively engaging with systems (playing a game, online banking, etc) instead of creating?
