Which WM does "size window to maximum without overlapping"? Or is that in an option in Windows 7?

Another feature I like, on several linux WMs, is middle-click maximise to maximise vertically only. But I think Windows doesn't do much with the middle button...

I'm using KDE 4.9 with Fedora (so kwin), and the splitting windows w/o overlapping works very nicely. I use Windows 7 in my day job and also found that to be a huge win over XP. I like KDE's a bit better because it can do 4 quadrants, not just two vertical sides. Good stuff.

It's called maximumize in Compiz and it was there for over five years. Not sure about KDE.
