Don't understand what you mean. Windows uses tree-follows-main-view, and 
you can still copy into tree view folders. Yes, it's a PITA when the 
tree expands and your target falls off the end, but there are ways 
around that. It's a corner case, whereas for people who know and love 
it,  tree-follows-main-view is pretty fundamental to the tree view's 
utility.
