No seriously windows suck. (http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/oled-wallpaper-to-spell-the-end-for-light-bulbs--660827)

OLEDs are totally where it's at. They replace both light bulbs and windows. Plus I've actually participated in some experiments concerning PEDOT which is one of the leading contenders for OLEDs. The future is coming.

6000 Euros, oh yeah, that'll be widespread in no time!

That was two years ago and they haven't perfected roll to roll (R2R) processing yet. R2R processing lets you make continuous sheets of display in exactly the same way you print newspaper, or money, or conventional wall paper. This allows you to make massive quantities of display for a few cents per square foot. At least that is the goal.

I came here thinking this was a pro-not-windows rant about operating systems. I am disappoint.

every technology starts crazy stupid and crazy expensive, then some crazy dude pays fo it and slowly but surely, it gets funding. Then it changes, then it gets more cost efficient, smaller and easier to produce untill it reaches mass market levels.

That's the story of everything.

So, Led Wallpaper. I'll be telling my grandson to turn those walls down and go to sleep!

Its a great concept but it'll likely be another decade or two before these even drop low enough to sell at your local Walmart.

Most people dont have windows for lighting but because they like the ability to see outside. So until they are super-flat TV screens windows will remain

Capitalism finding a way to ruin this stunning technological achievement aside, we need Windows. (http://vimeo.com/16611269)

Somebody hasn't been paying attention to the thread.
