Some applications provide resizing to full-screen windows with a menu or key command, once you're in the app (photoshop, firefox, etc)., but the OS generally doesn't.
You can add third party apps that will do this though.

When you are sitting at your desk do you stack all of your papers in one pile and then shuffle them when you need one other than the top one?
Most people arrange papers in relevant groups or spread them around their desks.
Hence the Desktop concept translated to your screen.
Also Macs have a high penetration in the graphics industry. Sharing/moving content among open docs and apps is a regular task. Most apps support drag n drop between windows and apps so if you can see a part of a destination window you just drag content from one window to another.
As others have noted correctly, the green button will maximize the window to show the full width and if possible the height.
Try it with an excell sheet and you'll see it goes full screen.
The full screen thing in windows is one of the things I personally can't stand. Seems inefficient to me but to each his own.
