I have little doubt that we primarily disagree on the definition of a tiling
wm. :-) Just for kicks, I sold a complete OEM boxed set of Windows/286 on
e-bay just a few months ago. I had to load it just to see it in action. I
didn't actually get on the Windows bandwagon until v3.0. Even in the v3.x
days of Windows most of the software I was interested in running ran only
under DOS.

:-) I remember flipping 20 some-odd floppies in '95, trying to load
Slack.... can't tell you how glad I am that removable storage media has
improved so much.
