Vampyre_Dark if you start from a rectangle(2D),
then "inset"
then delete the inner face
then hollow
then merge
...is a faster way to do the same window |

Have fun texturing it. 
With my method, you can adjust your window frame texture perfect over the frame, and then when you copy and paste them, they'll fit perfectly together, and the ends will meet up nicely. But that's not a concern if you're using a generic random fill pattern texture for your frame (althought it ends up looking worse off for it, making a nice windowframe / board texture for it with proper shading and hinting at the form to reduce polygons and enhance the lightmapping will always produce better results.)
There are always other things to consider then just 'how can I make the shape faster'. And it's not like the way I posted takes a significant amount of time. A few clicks and it's done. |

wherever... simple is better 
however if you texture the rectangle before the inset, you would not have problems |

That's only true if you have AutoUV off. Otherwise new texturecoordinates are calculated each time you modify your rectangle. |

That on;y produces results if you are using a color/fill pattern texture, and you aren't using a specific texture of a board/ window frame. Like the picture granada posted. That's not a window, or a window frame, it's a hole in the wall. |

Which is?
The point of view where you have to tell people that the vague object is a window? How about you build some windows, and I build some windows, and we post the screenshots?  |

 You won't get a nice lined up texture like that insetting a cube. |
