Windows 7 : Maximizing and Restoring Windows made easier

As Windows 7 making news all over the web about it's new features like Superbar (new taskbar), Jump lists and the Ribbon interface etc.,i decided to try it out and i am quite satisfied with the OS as it is performing so well being in the pre-beta stage.
      
One cool feature that i found in Windows 7 is that now we can maximize a window just by dragging it to the upper edge of our desktop and restore it just by doing the reverse. When you drag a window to the left edge of the desktop it occupies the left half of it. While you drag a window to the upper edge of the desktop in order to maximize it, you see an imaginary window frame with a  bubble like effect originating from the point where your mouse pointer touches the upper edge of the screen and it looks cool.
