Windows are fogged up and I am assuming that the seals failed.
window panes are pretty simple to replace, depending on how many you have. Your house shouldn't be old enough to need new windows. There are better alternatives to your issues than replacing 10 windows, but a lot depends on time and interest.

That being said when you have an abundance of failures like the OP I would definitely recommend getting it quoted for glass replacement and whole window replacement. Like someone else said, new window will most likely be way better energy rated, using vinyl with LowE glass, than replacing with what you have currently.
