I just saw Windows' new campaign slogan. "Life Without Walls".
And it hit me that you certainly can have life without walls.
HOWEVER.
You literally cannot have windows without walls.
A door is essentially a wall with hinges, a wall designed to be opened. Moreover, here in Eigeria, our back doors are frequently NOTHING BUT a single massive window that slides open--a window that is also a wall that is also a door.
