There was a proposal to institute something like that in 2001 for MS
Windows. There was even an add-on, I think it was called DASHBOARD that
did something like that. Windows presently will group similar tasks
together; however, I am not sure if it will open them all at one
thought. Perhaps if they were arranged cascaded or some such thing it
might work. I never tried it.

Have you considered using two monitors? I know several Window users who
employ that method, although usually for spreadsheet use.

Personally, one main window and possibly a smaller companion window is
all I usually require.

Don't worry over what other people are thinking about you.
