+ To maximize a window, click on the title bar of an application, and drag it to the top of the screen. When the mouse pointer touches the very top of the screen, the entire screen becomes hilighted. Release the mouse button to maximize the screen. +

Workspaces refer to the grouping of windows on your desktop. You can create many workspaces, which act like virtual desktops. Workspaces are meant to reduce clutter and make the desktop easier to navigate.

You could use workspaces to organize your work. For example, you could have all your communication windows, such as e-mail and your chat program on one workspace and the work you are doing on a different workspace. Your music manager could be on a third workspace.

Briefly explain the different window states that exist and how you can use and recognize those states. Discuss interesting ways of arranging windows (i.e. if there is a "Tile" option or something like that). Mention, in passing, how you can move and resize windows in multiple ways.

Very brief overview of what you can do with windows. Link to relevant topics.
