\"\"<\/a>One of the most useful new interface features in Windows 7 is the Aero stuff. This includes the feature that lets you drag windows to the edges of the screen to make convenient stuff happen. Drag a window to the top edge of the screen and the window maximizes. Drag it back down and it restores to its original size. I find this very useful on laptops with limited screen real estate. I especially like dragging a window to the left of the screen and having it resize to take the left half of the screen. I then drag a second window to the right and it fills the right side, making the two windows perfectly aligned. I find these features so useful that I missed them when working on the Mac. I should have known that someone else would miss it too and the developer of Cinch for the Mac<\/a> has produced a great utility to duplicate this ability.<\/p>\n

Cinch works flawlessly on the Mac and works just as well as the Windows 7 counterpart. It even intelligently handles multiple monitors, by letting you still drag windows back and forth between the monitors at will. While Cinch is great on a laptop screen, I also find it very useful on my big 24-inch display. The ability to put two windows side-by-side on the big screen provides a very useful working environment, as witnessed in the screen image to the right.<\/p>\n
