From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can't drag another window on top of it.

It's a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I'm actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can't drag any other windows on top of it.

Don't know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.
