Visual Studio sort of does this. When you drag one pane over another, the default is to have the panes be tiled or tabbed (depending on where you drag it). It's all very intuitive too, with the arrows to guide you through what you're doing. Visual Studio's window management is totally awesome and one of my favorite features.

Nice. When do you suppose they will support editing code? You know, features we've learned to expect from IntelliJ and Eclipse?

I don't get it? I edit a lot of code in it?

Does it work well with multiple monitors yet?

Visual Studio 2010 RC just came out this week and it touts multiple monitor support and other very shiny features. The official release is on March 22; they're not called M$ for nothing =P http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010/de... [microsoft.com]

I was watching a channel9 video where one of the devs claimed multiple-monitor support in 2010 was improved. I'm not sure how, or even what needs improving for that matter (I use VS across two monitors.)

VS2010 let you have 2 files open. In VS2008 you cannot have 2 sources code file open in each of your screen. Only one (of course you can put other windows to other screen but not multiple code windows).

Oh! I've never tried that. That explains it. I only put panels on my 2nd monitor.

i end up running multiple instances typically, as opposed to a single one over multiple monitors.
