CNET Editors' review
This handy application helps you to work in multiple open windows on your desktop, but keep in mind that your layout options shrink as you open several programs. WinTiles Plus lets you select among various layouts to better manage and control open windows, but once you hit five programs, understandably your only option is a cascading effect. From the system tray, you can rotate your windows' positioning clockwise and counterclockwise and perform most functions with hot keys. As opposed to only seeing the applications you're working with on the taskbar, you'll be able to see and work in all the open windows. You can easily browse the Web, carry on an IM conversation, and work in any application simultaneously without ever minimizing a window. You'll also be able to choose applications to exclude from the displayed window arrangement. Any way you look at it, this program is a must-have for the PC multitasker.

"I could hardly do without."
Version: WinTiles Plus 1.2b
Pros
Working with multiple windows is so much easier with this program, that I now find it disagreeable to work on a "WinTilesless" PC.
Cons
Like another reviewer wrote, it has not been updated for ages, and there is still room for improvement : for example, I could use a 2-windows set where one window would occupy 2/3 of the screen (and the other, you guessed it, 1/3).

"Organise your windows quickly and efficiently."
Version: WinTiles Plus 1.2b
Pros
Great program which Windows OS should have had at the start. Not sure about you, but how do you organise your open windows when you are working? Do you patiently try to resize your windows? Do you have overlapping windows? Do you have windows which hide other windows. Wintiles has pre-configured layouts for 2 window panes, 3 window panes, and 4 window panes which maximise the space usage of the windows. My advice give it a try if you work with large LCD or wide screens. You will be so much more productive.
Cons
Hasn't been updated for ages. Probably a bit expensive but have bought a license.
