Turn Off the 'Duplicate Window' event when you slide windows around

Wouldn't it be nice to have less paranoid schizophrenic windows that aren't seeing double when you click on them or move them around - suddenly you have lots of duplicate windows that don't have an 'x' delete! How nice it would be to turn off that feature!

To be honest I disagree the window management sliding is dead simple to use from googling how it works once. If you can't bother to figure it I don't think you'll have the energy to figure out Blender anyhow.

@3rton93: Come on, let's not respond like that and encourage using blender instead. We've all been beginners and I'm sure we've all found the window management strange at first glance (I sure did, until I got it and found it awesome). I just think the forums or chat rooms would've been a more appropriate place for asking about it.

Blenders Window management system is really powerful when you know how to use it, but I aggree that it's kinda confusing for new users. With Blender 2.8 there will be many improvements to the interface, so maybe this will be easier to get used to then.

I don't get it. If you're talking about the window splitting feature (in the bottom left and top right corners), Blender adds the same window than the one you're splitting from. You are then supposed to change that window to whatever you want.
