+1  This is something I've been mulling over in general for a long
time.  Monitors used to be near square, but now they are all MUCH wider
than they are high.  Somehow we need to use less valuable vertical space
and more horizontal space for UI elements.  The problem comes in when
you have text involved.  While you COULD have tabs down the side with
the text rotated appropriately, people wouldn't like it.  They like to
read normally.  Hmmmm.
