You got that mixed up. The VM *does* support multiple windows, as Tim  
was saying. For quite some time now, in fact. It's just that nobody  
needed them desperately enough to actually put work into using them.  
Not even Tweak (although indeed it is way simpler to adapt Tweak to  
multi-window than Morphic).
