What you describe is in the roadmap as
F13 - Multiple columns per day and it will be scheduled for
4.5 release (1 February 2008).
F26 Resources-days view is a modification of month view that shows resources on one axis and days on the other axis (one day per cell). But this feature is on hold at the moment because you can achieve this using the DayPilotScheduler control (although you can't switch the axes).
