Not a bad tip, but users be warned: if you tile this way (selecting applications using the CTRL key), you aren't given an Undo Tile option like you are when right-clicking from the task bar. If you have windows sized just so, they won't be, after the upheaval of tiling, when an undo function would be handy.

Unbelievable. I've been using windows for 17 years, and XP since it came out and now Vista for the last year and NOW, AT LAST I know how to do this. I am so sad to find out now.

Better late than never (I think) ...

<ul id="quote">The selected windows and only the selected windows will be affected.</ul>

This appears to be only ALMOST true. When I tried it, all of my non-selected windows that had been maximized were restored (i.e. made to be non-maximized).

VERY minor point; the tip still stands, and I THANK YOU thank you THANK you, `cos I'll be using that a LOT now. :-)
