Give KDE (maybe on Kubuntu) a try. It's pretty easy to make it look and behave a lot like Windows, and alt-right-drag to resize and alt-left-drag to move windows have saved me like a couple thousand hours in fiddly work.
I'd recommend Linux Mint with Cinnamon for the same reasons.
It's 2013. Why the fuck is anyone still using Windows?

Since starting to use Windows 8, I found that the grouping behavior of the taskbar combined with a dozen open PuTTY windows drove me insane. There's a multiple-tabbed PuTTY shell, but it was hard to get used to as well. I finally switched to the Chrome SSH client, which has been much better (though it doesn't have nearly the features of PuTTY, of course).

yeah, because managing windows is not the problem a window manager would be responsible for... what then? you have a dozen word documents? and a dozen text files? and a dozen images? ... do you keep changing your tools everytime you pass a window number threshold? just get rid of windows 8. as troll as this comment may sound...
Get rid of it for what? This is purely a troll; you offered no solution. I can't even imagine what you're referring to; is OSX or Ubuntu going to make managing my windows any better? Note: I'm well aware of workspaces, but that can't be what you're referring to, as they are available to Win users, and it's not clear the OP is looking for anything more than tabs, which a WM isn't generally providing.

Because Linux is good only when used from the command line, and Mac OS doesn't run on commodity hardware. That leaves only Windows as a viable option for most people.

I know this is a troll statement, but I feel Windows does a lot of things well. * For large organizations, domain controls make managing a large number of desktops much easier. * I feel MS Office on windows is a better product than the mac version (if you do a lot of document work). * Gaming. Windows is still dominant for desktop games. * Windows isn't the walled garden that Mac is going towards. * Backwards compatib…
The Unix way of putting the resources on the network, and synchronizing /etc works quite well. I've never seen anybody actually claim that AD is better than it. Most people complaining that the unixes don't have administration tools just want them to work like Windows.
Windows is a hell to administer, you can't just clone machines and you can't centralize your resources. You must do what AD allows you, and beg that this time something won't break, because you can't really test anything.

Those are actually more than two clicks and sadly enough to frustrate me every time. There must be a fork with sane defaults out there somewhere.
You could probably export a Registry file that has all your settings and then import on a new machine.
