Multi window on Android/nexus 7?

I was just reading about the Note 2 getting multi window support. My main tablet is a Windows 8 Pro which also has multi window support in Metro, and of course in desktop mode I can do whatever I want with windows.

I'm getting the Nexus 7 as a travel tablet, is there any option for Multi window use on it? Any programs, or possibility that the Note 2 capability can be hacked onto the nexus 7? I'm really really finding multi window capability is pretty awesome the more I use it on my current devices.
 
Multi window is a Samsung feature, if you want a tablet to do that the note 10.1 has the capability.
Floating notes is a fairly useful app for pinning stuff to your home screen.
 
Multi window is a Samsung thing, so while it's possible it could be added with a custom rom, I wouldn't hold my breath. I haven't tried the note, so I can't comment directly, but having multiple windows on a screen 7" or smaller seems a little more gimmicky than useful. I wouldn't mind having it though.
 
While multi window may not be an integrated thing, there are a few apps that utilize "window" functionality, such as Super Video (S3 style popup video), Floating Browser (popup browser), and Multiscreen Multitasking THD (the closest thing to multi window currently available).
