ajaxComplete not working on $(window)

I'm using jQuery version 1.5.1 and this isn't working for me: 

    $(window).ajaxComplete(function() {
        console.log('hello');
    });

but this is: 

    $(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
        console.log('hello');
    });

Why can't I attach the event handler to $(window)?

Note: this code is working with jQuery v1.3.2 but not with v1.5.1

Probably because window is

1.) Not an element

2.) Somewhat 'protected' by the browser's js engine

3.) a bad idea when looking for something to attach an AJAX event to

Why can't you use document or an element instead?
