It provided basic window management functionality by manipulation windows that were moved to the sides or top of the screen. Moving a window to either the left or right side would display it on one half of the screen while moving it to the top would maximize it.

It did not take long until Aero Shake was ported to the Windows Vista and Windows XP operating system. A beta version of the software program was released by the software developer and is available for download on the homepage. The software requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 or higher.

The functionality is immediately activated after installation and execution of the software. It works extremely well for a beta software and mimics the window management of Windows 7. The only difficulties during the test involved double-clicking a maximized window which should normally reduce the window to its previous size but it seems that the application sometimes tried to maximize it again.
