> It's called "tiled window management". Lots of people find it more comfortable to use than the classic overlapping windows.

True, but when speaking about "lots", we have to keep in mind that tiled window management for the general public died together with Windows 1.0. That probably puts the percentage of the public who's ever used tiled window management around 0.001% of the total PC using population :)

But the market share of Windows 8.1 is currently 8,40%.

You know how bad it is, if Microsoft lowest-point is your high point.
