Indeed, a maddening number of Win7 applications have non-resizable windows.
However, most modern 1st-party applications have been moving away from
non-resizable windows (the open/save dialogs are a good example of this!)
Legacy and many 3rd-party applications are still infested with non-resizable
windows, but the trend towards fluid designs is very very clear.

Hence my post!
