Windowed mode is actually superior if you think about it.
I normally play in desktop so its full screen anyway but sometimes shrink it slightly so I have a border on one side.
I get system alerts like say email & can flick to doing other stuff during the AIs turn easily, then just watch the replay which is a lot faster.
You could even have APcalc open as I noticed this mentioned in another of your posts, or your notes on how effective weapons are till you come to grips with the game.
