Hey, fellow tiling window manager fans, whether you use i3, awesome, xmonad, bspwm or whatever, how would you try your best at emulating the experience on a Windows or OSX machine?
Virtuawin gets you multiple (by default just 4 and they can so far as I know only be accessed in geometric up-down,left-right relation to eachother, like Ubuntu w/ Unity.) desktops on Windows. It does not tile though.
Windawesome tiles, but it's got some dumbass installation method that requires you to fuck with dll files. Both are GNU, though.
Is bug.n still in development?
Solid axilla game

I dunno. Windawesome is a bug.n variant that's supposedly better.

I used winsplit revolution. Which is, as far as I know, no longer in active development, but it works fine on 7. (I have no idea if it works on 8 or 10). It's really just a way you can set hotkeys for resizing the active window to a certain position on the screen, so it's kind of like a manual-transmission tiling manager. I set it up with the ctrl-alt-[numpad key] sending the window to the top/bottom/side/corner, with five meaning "maximize to screen". It doesn't do workspaces, just resizes windows.
not the greatest but good enough for the machine I still run windows on.
I like gridmove for Windows. One of the stock layouts gives you a bunch of options for positioning/size but it doesn't tile windows automatically, you move them with middle mouse.

Eww. I used it a couple weeks ago and it was awful. Buggy as hell.
