//an interesting note is that one could create a window, show it, and invoke the dispatcher to run
//such that it tells the dispatcher of *this* thread to 'idle' (wait for UI input)
//while it's technically multithreading, it doesn't allow parallelism within a window itself I.E:
TestSubWindow tempWindow = new TestSubWindow();
tempWindow.Show();
