Well, it's possible to quibble about exactly what is a window and what 
isn't, but in the mid to late 60's Doug Englebart's system had a permanent 
area at the top of the screen for command/feedback interactions.  Just 
below that was an area that was created dynamically to display text that 
was being buffered for input, and disposed of when no such buffering was 
going on.  Below that were one or more areas each displaying the content 
of a document.  These areas were created as needed, and later disposed of, 
by user commands, and whichever area was currently active "owned" the 
command/feedback area.  I'd say all these areas were "tiled windows."
