What’s This About?
DisplayFusion (Portable Freeware version*) provides the ability to move and resize windows between monitors in a multi-monitor setup. It also allows you to set wallpaper and backgrounds from photos on your computer or from Flickr. It is a great alternative to the shareware “Ultramon” program.
* There is a shareware upgrade to a Pro version however the Free version does everything that I need.
Why Would You Want It?
If you use a multi-monitor setup (and for a serious computer user the only reasons I think you shouldn’t is lack of money or space) then moving windows, particularly maximized windows between the monitors is something you wan to easily do. The ability of DisplayFusion to move a maximized window from one monitor to another by dragging and dropping makes it worth installing for just this one feature. The addition of hotkey window operations and wallpaper/background management are just an incredible bonus 
What Does It Do - The Essentials?
Summary:
- Drag Maximized Windows between monitors/screens

There’s a very amusing thread about this over at Scene.org’s flames forum - best quote “But it is kind of flattering for them to think that the demoscene coders now have found a way to pack 1 whole tv series episode into a ~30KB file
“.

Neat app. I had a dual monitor setup for awhile but really didn’t like it until I started trading online. The ability to move windows between screens will come in handy.
