Title bar too sensitive? A window is maximized. When I click and hold the title bar and drag it a bit, the window resizes to a smaller window.
What Windows 7 feature is this?
Initially I had trouble with this. I know I wasn't double-clicking on the title bar for it to be resizing, but it was.
Interestingly, on Windows 7 Ult RC at home, I never noticed this happening, only on Windows 7 Ent at work. | My System Specs |

That is Aero Snap. Can be disabled. I love it, but it can be touchy. | My System Specs | | |

I'm starting to like it. I can see how its useful. No more double-clicks to resize a window. Plus, you can drag it back to the top and it will maximize. As mentioned, it is a bit touchy though. I accidentally dragged it to the top and it maximizes, but in my mind I didn't want it to maximize.
Users in a corp environment may need a class for these "features". Otherwise, their going to think, like I did initially, what the hell is it doing or what the hell's going on. And then support will get inundated with calls. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Enterprise and Ultimate |

Aero Snap may very well be my favorite feature of 7. It is certainly frequently used - the side by side snap. | My System Specs | | |

I agree, been using that snap snap side to side and sure is easier than resizing by edge grabbing. put a email window beside a web page and I can get some copy paste action going, sweet. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gateway GT5692 OS Windows 7 Ulti. x64 CPU AMD Phenom 8450 triple-core 2.10 ghz Memory 4GB Graphics Card ATI Radion HD 3200 Monitor(s) Displays Gateway FPD1775W Screen Resolution 1280x720 Hard Drives 465.6613 Gibibytes |
