Hi, Where the new drag and drop comes in handy is when dragging and dropping from 1 window to another. The trick is, both the spot where the item is being dragged from, and the spot where it will be dropped, must be visible on the screen. I must say, besides Mail, I haven't really found a compelling reason to use this over cut and paste. Although, I guess there might be many users who have apps where this method comes in more handy.
