I don't *want* Windows7 to guess what I mean...

... and , thanks to My Digital Life, this is at least one way to prevent it:

Disable Aero Snap Auto Maximize and Arrange Window in Windows 7


Windows 7 includes a new feature called Aero Snap that intends to improve open windowsmanagement on the desktop. Aero Snap allows user to drag a window to the top of the screen to maximize the window automatically, or to the left or right side of the screen to resize the window to fill and take up half of the screen estate on the moved side automatically. 
...

Use the trick below to disable and turn off Aero Snap ability to auto arrange or auto maximize window when dragging.

  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Click on Ease of Access link or Ease of Access Center icon.
  3. Select Change how your mouse works or Make the mouse easier to useoption.
  4. Tick the check box for Prevent Windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen with the mouse under "Make it easier to manage windows" section.
