A valuable utility. I will never run Windows without it.

Still the best of its kind, by far. Still doing what idiots like the developer of PuTTY should be doing for their own applications.

This is the swiss army knife of window and multi monitor management...and what I really like, too, is the fact that the developpers are VERY responsive and user friendly :-)

Yeah it is worth it. It's so incredibly helpful to reign in the many moronic applications that don't remember their sizes and/or positions. You can use it to dismiss annoying and needless dialogs (such as when some idiotic mundane application asks you to confirm its exit--as if your life will be torn to shreds if you don't reconsider). And that's just the tip of this application's proverbial iceberg of features.

Very expensive, but g**d*** it's worth it!!! The new window snap function is simply irreplaceable!
