      There is a Unix screen program which does sorta what you want. It does
 not open windows per se but it allows you to switch back and forth btw 
 various screens using control sequences. Also, you can have multiple screens
 running to various computers and can even disconnect a screen at one  
 terminal and resume it somewhere else (provided the terminal types are
 compatible). It is a USEFUL program although it is not quite windows. But
 it does run all ALL terminals.
