AllSnap brings your Windows applications together - literally

Sometimes you want to look at several programs on your Windows desktop at the same time. So you resize Firefox, Word, Excel, and whatever else it is you're using, and then spend about 5 minutes trying to line them up to maximize your screen real estate. The whole process would be a lot easier if programs would just sort of snap together at the edges, wouldn't it?AllSnap is a utility that lets you snap program windows together much the same way different parts of the music program Winamp snap together.

Here's a tip for Windows users: you can select multiple windows from your taskbar by simply Ctrl+clicking their titles on the taskbar.
With multiple windows selected, right-click any of them (on the taskbar again) and a menu with positioning options will appear.
Pretty handy when you want 2 explorers side-by-side, for instance.
