Multitasker - Multitask like never before!

Description
Multitasker is a program that gives you the ability to run multiple windows at the same time, currently you can only have 2 windows, a background and a main, but that will be fixed soon.

This program is still in development though, so the version you are getting is currently a concept. In the final version, you will be able to resize windows so you can run side by side and do much more.

The gui is based off of Quasar:

How to use
First, on a HTTP-enabled computer, type this into the shell:

pastebin get 4uzSAeAd multi

Then, run the program, DO NOT run it more then once, and run it every time you reboot.

After running, just double tap tab to open a window, there is currently no way to close or open no windows yet.

To do
Add resizing
Allow running programs
Allow exiting programs
Allow more then 1 window

It actually looks good. I have seen this in action so far, in the development process, and I like what I see.

It's an okay idea, though most people would rather just have two computers running two monitors. I personally like having a PDA way more than monitors, so something like this could appeal to me.

Wow. *slow clap* This looks nice, especially with the window-in-a-window.
