yeah. so many others just want to copy Windows. I guess because they are
afraid to really botch things up

I don't like rotated text, either. I would rather have it

slightly less annoying. Having just an icon gets rid of the clutter though
you still have all those other buttons

oh this is for windows management. I should hope we never see an App with
vertical tabs like those kde apps.
But users frequently have to deal with lots of windows. i've seen
screenshots of firefox with 50 tabs in one window!
Then there are all the people with several IM's going on. My sister really
knows how to multitask with many IM windows and still talk on the phone at
the same time. This is for her :)

I like the idea of auto-handling of tabs - I would use that all the time
