    I think that this feature is really nice in Windows 7 how you are able to split two different windows evenly on the desktop by just dragging each window to the left and right side.

    With that being said, are there any programs/apps out there that can mimic this feature for Mac? Specifically the latest OS Snow Leopard?

    TwoUp was program capable of doing this but has been discontinued.

    Any fellow Mac NBRers know any others?

    I actually like their Cinch product better.

    While SizeUp has more features, its all command driven, so while Cinch has fewer features I prefer its visual, intuitive interface.

    What I'd really like is the Sizeup quarter features in Cinch. I think they could do it easily by allowing three drag areas on each side of the screen - drag to the middle and you get a half screen, drag nearer a corner and you get quarter screen.
