Windows Vista had tiling somewhat hidden away (you had to use ctrl and select 2 windows in the taskbar, right click and select 'tile horizontally/vertically'), and in 7 it's hidden even further (you have to open up task manager, hold ctrl, right click, and tile). It was there, just not particularly well implemented. I've seen some really good Linux tiling WMs, as well as extensions for GNOME that make tiling simple, I can't understand why Microsoft is incapable of doing the same.
