Probably before your time, sonny ;-), but Windows started out as a
"tiling" desktop. The tiling concept didn't go over very well. 640 x 480
screens were all the rage then and you can't get many tiles on that size
screen, not large enough tiles to be useful anyway.

I think W95 was the first one w/ your "floating" windows.
