    This is because the window object points to the window object itself.

    Some reasons for this behaviour include

    • makes it easier to refer to the global object (otherwise you’d have
      to do a manual var window = this; assignment at the top of your
      script).
    • Without this property you wouldn’t be able to write for example “window.open(‘http://google.com/’)” you’d have to just use “open(‘http://google.com/’)” instead
    • Another reason to use this property is for libraries which wish to offer OOP-versions and non-OOP versions (especially JavaScript modules).
