True. The original point still stands though - both Apple and Microsoft have found that the majority prefer stacking windows as it is easier to learn and use.

- nickjj 7y ago> both Apple and Microsoft have found that the majority prefer stacking windows as it is easier to learn and use. Yes but Microsoft also found that a majority of folks want a tabbed terminal interface and icon emojis before being able to select text with a mouse in a terminal. So I'm not sure how much credit you can give them for knowing what people really want in the end. Also, I've spent some amount of time teaching old people how to use computers (ie. teaching my dad how to use Windows better so he can day trade). One of the most confusing concepts to him is how windows can just disappear or "get lost". Stacked windows that can be behind other windows or get minimized by pressing the wrong icon by accident is a lot more confusing than having a 2D plane of existence where you can see everything at once because the only way you end up hiding them is by explicitly doing things to move them into different work spaces.
