Exactly - window switching isn't Activity switching - an Activity can
involve many windows (eg editing a document can involve the document being
edited and several information sources), and switching between them
shouldn't be a task *at all*, it shouldn't involve* any thinking*, it should
be *instant* and *entirely effort free*.  Like clicking a single button
that's in a static location.
