Windows has supported landscape/portrait switching since forever, I think it was already there in windows XP almost two decades ago, if not it was in 7 for sure (and it's in 10 since I use it right now).

I wasn't trying to make a comparison to Windows, or start an OS war. I'm not sure why you even brought up Windows, since this discussion is about HelenOS.

But for what it's worth, Macs have supported portrait mode since 1989†, back when Microsoft was still pushing Windows 2.

My bad, for some reason I read "only macOS" instead of "macOS only"
