Windows 7 Upgrade?? Advice?

but River Euphrates, haven't you seen the commercials. W7 can make two windows the same size on your screen. It used to take 1/2 of 1 second to do that with your mouse. Now you can do it in about 3 seconds with a few mouse clicks. Isn't that just wonderful? Don't you want to pay Microsoft a bunch of money for this worthless "feature"?
