Aren't you mis-using terminology? At least on Windows, TILED means you take the parent window and divide up into "tiles" and the child windows are laid out. If you had four open windows, you'd get windows two across and two down. What you seem to be calling TILED is called CASCADE in Windows. I hardly ever run any application in anything but maximized view, and never find CASCADE useful. Tabs takes care of what CASCADE was designed to do, as you never lose access to the control that lets you bring a particular window to the foreground, as you often do with cascaded windows, where only part of the title bar is visible. What I wish some application somewhere would implement is the ability to pick which windows you want tiled and which ones you want it to ignore when you do the tiling. My understanding of Expose is that it gives you much of this at the OS level, so you can easily gain access to all your open windows, since the layout of the windows is something that's managed on-the- fly, not permanently stored. And, in the end, you seem to be asking to get rid of CASCADING windows. I'd agree they serve no purpose whatsoever, and a tab interface would make them completely obsolete. -- David W.
