It saddens me that Chrome OS is switching from full-screen windows to a stacking metaphor. The opportunity to move to a tiling (even just two columns like Metro) paradigm was there and would be a natural extension of the tab metaphor.

Disappointing, although I'm happy to see progress towards an OS that treats web apps as first-class.



Aura does do 2 column tiling
