Comment A mainstream tiling window manager? (Score 1) 800
On any single monitor, more than two applications can be run simultaneously. Instead of Windows 8's fixed split, where one application gets 320 pixels and the other application gets the rest, the division between apps will be variable. It'll also be possible to have multiple windows from a single app so that, for example, two browser windows can be opened side-by-side.
This is sounding a lot like a tiling window manager to me.
