Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't recall ever seeing an auto-fit tiling mode
for the desktop in Windows. Inside of MDI applications, yes, like the
Program Manager and File Manager, but not for new applications.

Ah, but that's the whole point of a tiling wm. It not only tiles by
default, but also automatically adjusts existing tiles so that no tile's
surface is obscured. Windows has never to my knowledge supported this out
of the box.
