Because the pins on the bottom of the processor can be easily bent (assuming that this is a processor for a PGA (Pin Grid Array) or SPGA (Staggerd PGA) socket. It is worth noting though that a processor for a LGA (Land Grid Array) socket is not as susceptible to this as the there are lands or pads on the bottom of the processor instead of pins; the pins are in the socket. The book that asks this question assumes PGA.

Very true BUT you can bend the lands in an LGA socket, rendering the socket hence the motherboard useless!

Why is it important to insert a processor straight down into the socket rather than sliding the processor in from the side or allowing it to tilt into the socket?

Processor pins, or in modern computers the pins in the sockets, are very delicate and easy to bend. If you insert the processor any way other than straight down, you will bend the pins and likely destroy either the processor or the motherboard, or both.

Can the center window be replaced with a rear sliding window on a Ford F-250?

I just shattered the rear sliding window of my Ford F250 and was told by Dave of Quality Glass in LaPorte IN that the current generation of rear sliding windows are designed so the glass cannot be removed to be replaced, so the answer given me was, I need to purchase a new sliding window assembly. I checked into replacing the sliding window with just straight glass and it actually cost me more than aftermarket sliding windows. This is not the definitive answer, but the working answer in my situation.
