In Unity, when you drag title bar of window, and point it to left side or right one it maximizes to half screen (full height, half width).
What's the name of this feature? How to install it on 10.10 without upgrading to 11.04 so that I can see two window side by side?

This is part of the Compiz Grid plugin. On Ubuntu 10.10, I believe you need to install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra ; it can then be configured using
CompizConfig Settings Manager → Grid → Edges → Resize Actions
The defaults in Ubuntu 11.04 involve Upper Left Corner, Left Edge, and Lower Left Corner being set to Left Half, and Upper Right Corner, Right Edge, and Lower Right Corner being set to Right Half.
