Okay...  well, you can have 10 (or 100) windows open on a Linux 
computer, just like you can on Windows.

The permissions thing is a very good thing, as it protects your data 
from other people that might be using the same computer.  It is not a 
difficult thing to understand or use, once you know the basic concepts 
of it.  In this day and age, it is RARELY a problem and "just works".  
You may have had a bad experience with it long ago or something, when 
Linux was indeed somewhat difficult to use.  It's not that way any more.

All right, well.... to each his own, I guess.  Have a good one!
