Side-by-side multitasking doesn't work

On displays with resolutions lower than 1366 x 768, the Snap
feature that allows you to display two apps on your screen (and
resize them to 1/3 or 2/3 of the screen) won't work:

For reasons unknown, Microsoft decided to pevent Snap, despite
the fact that a lot of mobile devices these days still sport a
resolution of 1280 x 800 and are perfectly capable of displaying
two apps side by side.
Solution: There's no reason to deal with Microsoft's
restrictions: Open up regedit and go to
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Imm
ersiveShell\".
Next, create a new key called AppPositioner. Within that key,
create a DWORD entry which you'll name AlwaysEnableLSSnapping.
Double click on it and enter "1".

Once you've restarted your machine you can easily display all
apps side-by-side. Great!
