Moving windows, menu at the bottom too

Right now when we want to move a standard Window, we need to click or drag at the top part of the window (title bar) which is generally not in control of the application (except show/ hide it)

With this we can move a window so part of its bottom section is not visible. But we cannot do the same with the top part. This is possible when the window is not maximized.

For this it would be nice if microsoft added the ability to bring up the same strip by having an option in the pop up menu (Alt-space menu)
that generally has Restore, Move, Size Maximize, Close.

A new menu would be to show the same at the bottom / right or left edge of the window. Maybe a global preference could decide if these options should appear or not.

So then a user can choose to have the menu appear in the bottom too. And then move the window so that part of the top is pushed off the screen.

Am sure this can be done programmatically. Need a general windows way to do it too.

This is a suggestion to Microsoft. Also invite comments on related points.
