This is pretty good for Microsoft. There's finally a feature in the Windows UI that I would like to steal for my Ubuntu machine:

"Dragging a window to the top of the screen maximizes it automatically; dragging it off the top of the screen restores it. Dragging a window to the left or right edge of the screen resizes the window so that it takes 50% of the screen. With this, a pair of windows can be quickly docked to each screen edge to facilitate interaction between them. "



Haha, that's pretty funny: I use Windows all day, and "Dragging a window to the top of the screen maximizes it automatically" will be the absolute first thing I disable. How is that useful on 24/30" screens?


Yeah, I already have periodic problems with metacity's "dragging a maximize window unmaximizes it; dragging to the top of another screen maximizes it there" feature, when I over/undershoot a panel or window buttons.


I'll be curious to see how that works for us dual screeners.
