I think I know what he means because I am experimenting with WM's for my own amusement and have an idea I could call 'desktab'

From a regular linux install, just sudo apt-get install fluxbox,FVWM or whatever, reboot and select session->fluxbox, and thats what you get.. window manager with no...

i love the idea of the tiling WM's but have never got used to the hotkey layout on something like awesome, I'm always stumbling around with it.
tiles + tabs are a very interesting combination IMO,...

I actually think the windows 8 tiled launcher screen is pretty interesting, i think it makes the title-bars / dropdown menu look comes across as being primitive now. (i've never, ever liked the look...

I'd like this too!

you can make linux emulate the look and feel of everything else so one can't really say 'linux is easier to use' (preaching to converted i know..)
