Is there a good tiling wm for Windows too? Normally I use i3 on linux, but the few times I have to use Windows I really miss it.

There is also ShiftIt " rel="nofollow">https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt> , although I haven't tried it yet. The functionality of TylerWM seems quite simple. I wonder wether there is any Open Source clone of it.
While it's not quite the same as TylerWM, ShiftIt works great and I've been using it for years. I am actually using my own fork of ShiftIt, where I added being the ability to resize windows to various percentages of the screen: https://github.com/nileshk/shiftit Though my fork is off of an older version of ShiftIt (the original from Google Code), and also pretty specific to my preferences, so I'd recommend checking o…
I keep meaning to spend some time making it a little more automatic ala XMonad/TylerWM. One of these days...

There's bug.n[1], I haven't used it (I mostly use WIndows for gaming, where the WM is mostly irrelevant), but some people say they like it. [1]: http://www.autohotkey.net/~joten/bug.n.html

Tyler is not ready for prime time. I saw this video a few monthes back, got excited and bought it. It took me less than 24 hours to turn it off due to various issues. It does not work well with various OS windows, windows like the adium contact list and other 'non standard sized' windows. If you use it with spaces, it often loses your settings if you tell it not to use on space number X. I could go on with the variet…
Ahh, thank heavens for HN comments. I clicked the link, said "hooray! finally!" and was about to buy it in the App Store. Then I figured I'd read the comments first. I guess I'll wait.
Divvy's a great alternative - http://mizage.com/divvy/ . I've been using it for nearly a year now and very happy with it.

In 2010, I collaborated on a project to bring some of the features of my 2009 10/GUI concept to MacOS. We got it to a point where the likes of Safari, Finder, and TextEdit worked great and could have made a nice demo video, but the moment you threw in something like Photoshop, which took its own approach to windowing (or iTunes, for that matter; it certainly wasn't just Adobe), everything broke. We never got beyond a proof-of-concept.
As I've said before, a better approach to windowing on OS X will eventually come from the full-screen API in future versions of the operating system: http://interuserface.net/2011/07/10-7gui/
