I just switched from PC to Mac, but the green Maximize button at the top of each window isn't maximizing my windows.
We’ve never gotten much satisfaction from the unpredictable behavior of that green button, known as the Zoom button. Instead of truly maximizing your windows, the Zoom button is supposed to toggle your window between two sizes: the current size and a size that shows you as much content as possible. But anybody who’s ever used that button knows that it almost never works as advertised, and it acts completely differently in different apps.
Right Zoom fixes the behavior of the green Zoom button so that it always maximizes your windows to the full size of your screen.
We wish Apple would just concede that Windows handles this better than Mac OS X, and finally copy Microsoft for a change.
Until that day arrives, thank goodness that the folks at Blazing Tools share our frustration. Their utility Right Zoom (free, www.blazingtools.com/downloads.html) turns your green button into a bonafide Maximize button once and for all. Right Zoom lets you create a keyboard shortcut to instantly maximize a window as well.

An enigma in itself, Uplink is akin to a more cerebral incarnation of Ambrosia's popular Escape Velocity series of games...

If I recall, Windows didnt come with the idea. The orignal Mac did. Back in the days, when I had my MAC "toaster" double clicking on the name menu bar was also maximising the window as Windows does now. I think Apple tried to get away from it and try something new. I miss my zoom all and got right zoom as everybody else.

RightZoom is a simple good solution for those that want a consistent logical result when a little green button is pressed. The existing green button logic on the MAC is apparently intended to be more sophisticated than the crude "maximize" button in Windows by allowing each app to determine the best response to the button press. But the result of this sophistication is a confusing and inconsistent result which can be resolved by this app.

I sure could have guessed you were a young switcher.
Actually, this is why most of mac users hate bloody pc, not only because of that but... Maximising every window (now, I know where that dumb name comes from) is a pain the eyes. Mac interface lets you reach and switch applications as you touch one of the window you can see on your screen. Which is very faster compared to dumb *** PC. On a PC you spend your life finding files with clicking the taskbar.
And please don't one of those that has switched and preach PC old systems... This is worth being workless than working on a scary PC.
