Half Screen??

[Ed Cryer]

Oh, you're such a wimp

...but I'm still laughing after picturing your screen with 29 windows
tiled horizontally (or do I mean vertically?).

I've never had call to use Win7's rotating display, but it would sure be
useful for Char! (Ctrl, Win button, Tab)

We could then have a discussion about whether it rotates from left to
right, top to bottom, in three or four dimensional space, or something I
can't even think of right now.

I see vertical stacking where you see horizontal stacking.

In real life, when I take some objects and stack them one on top of
the next, that's a vertical stack. When I spread them out, one beside
the next, that's horizontal. I'm not sure why these standard concepts
should be reversed for Windows.

They're not. In real life objects can't normally be reshaped. Vertical or
horizontal refers to whether the individual is top to bottom or side to
side - (portrait = vertical - landscape = horizontal) ; but you know
that. .

In case you were wondering, your explanation didn't help at all, but
thanks for trying.

My keyboard doesn't have a Win button and I don't think I want a
rotating display...
