Bad idea. You need to put some other UI elements inside a window, and some can resemble a window and play the same role you envisioned for a window. You can even have the dockable interface similar to one of Visual Studio:

One very simple and near alternative would be using TabControl:

There can be many other different designs with similar functionality.
