Wow, I didn't know those windows and shutters existed.  Why could LEGO have
stayed with the 6-wide style?!?


I'd known about the window for quite some time. Many classic space sets use
them in blue (with trans yellow glass). I did wonder why it looked like it
had shutter tabs, until a few weeks ago when I opened a lot of windows I had
won on eBay, and discovered two things, first, the windows in the lot were
brown (with clear glass)! The second, there was a green shutter which fit
(unfortunately, only one shutter, not even a pair for one window). I then
hunted down and discovered several sets which use this window in brown. With
1651, the window now appears in grey or white).
