Sure isn't a problem on long-haul where the windows stay shut the whole time.

I am a window seat fan not because I can look out the window (although I generally do on ascent/descent) but because when I pass out in economy I don't end up resting my head on my seat mate's shoulder :)

To me the allure of the window seat has less to do with the window and more to do with what the window implies. I.e. it could just as well be called "the wall seat" and I'd get 95% the utility out of it.

Wasn't there some concept in airplane interior design to put displays in the walls so you could virtually display the outside like the aircraft wasn't even there?
