Alexey Rusakov on Sitecore development

I love Aero Snap in Windows 7, and I've twittered about it before.

But now Windows 7 team posted a fascinating read about designing the Aero Snap. Insightful and having some suspense: they've considered dropping the feature before coming up with the snap and resize animations I love the most.

"Vertical Maximized" state is an excellent addition, and win+arrow keys keyboard shortcuts look very useful, have to try them.

Hi Alexey,

I truly agree with you, this feature has been lacking in the windows window-manager for ages now ;-)

Especially when you see that much older and less good looking window managers implement this since more than a decade.. I'm talking about eg. Gnome, KDE, IceWM, Xfce, ... all these Linux window managers have this or very similar user-friendly window positioning.

I don't understand why they didn't implement the best feature ever: the ability to drag a window from anywhere (not just the title bar) while holding the Alt butten!
