There are many tiling window managers available for both Linux and OS X that have been shown and discussed on HN. There is also this post from about 2 years ago:

Since quite some time has passed, I was curious if anything has changed. Does anyone have recommendations of tiling window managers for Windows?

Best I've found is winsplit revolution: http://winsplit-revolution.en.softonic.com/

Although I haven't need it since Windows 10.

This is interesting, but I don't have Windows Insider Edition set up. Do you use insider edition regularly?
