It’s just that simple. Thanks to Microsoft for adding this feature in as part of the Windows.

This tip works on both Windows 7 and Windows 8, and is very useful if you don’t often use maximized window that much. It works much better with bunch of windows with different sizes floating around on your large screen. It won’t be much useful if you like all your application running in a maximized mode.

Give it a try. You can always switch it back simply de-selecting the option if you don’t feel liking it.
