Windows Moment

A 10-15 second period of total unresponsiveness encountered when using a PC running any version of Microsoft Windows. Traditionally occurs several times an hour. Just long enough to become disturbing and annoying, not long enough to inspire a reboot. Generally the mouse continues to move. When the moment ends, the user is usually left to deal with the consequences of the keys they struck in frustration while it was ongoing.
Sure, I'll pull that up right now. Ummm... Dammit, my computer's having a Windows Moment. Hang on.

window shopping

When one visits a store or mall to admire goods rather than to purchase them. The 'shopper' seems to be looking so intently at the glass in storefront windows that he appears to want to buy the window itself, hence 'window shopping'.
"You seem to be really interested in that sweater. Do you plan on getting it?"

"No, I'm just window shopping."

Golden Window

The period of time after your coffee is not too hot to burn your tongue but before it is too cold to be enjoyable.

IE: Coffee too Hot --- Golden Window -- Coffee too Cold
I hit the Golden Window during the Monday meeting, so it wasn't so bad.

You should hurry up and drink that down before you're out of the Golden Window.

Incognito Window

A feature on the web browser Google Chrome, lets you view pages like porn sites without leaving traces of it in your browser history.
I wanted to watch some porn, so I did it in an incognito window so my parents wouldn't find out later.

Windows

1) A PC based operating system by Microsoft.

2) An opening in a house, building, or other structure to provide view and ventilation.

3) A slang term for crystal meth (methamphetamine). Derived from the term "glass" which is also a word used to describe crystal meth. Windows as in def. 2 are often made of glass. In some tweaker's meth addled mind "glass" equaled "windows" and a new meaning for the word was born. In addition the term seems appropriate as many tweakers either work in the computer field or enjoy computing in their spare time (as relating to def. 1).
Yo man, could you hook me up with some windows?

windows key + d

A function/shortcut used in the Windows operating system. Pressing the Windows Key and the letter 'D' simultaneously will minimise any folder/program/window that is on the screen at the time.

Due to this function's popularity with risk-taking pornography fanatics (to quickly hide evidence of unscrupulous activity), it can be humorous to shout "WINDOWS KEY D" while entering a friend's room when you know they are using a computer.
Bill swifty entered Scott's room while shouting "WINDOWS KEY D" (windows key + d) to find Scott abusing himself with the GIF section of 4chan.org displayed on his monitor.
