The most basic of window operations wants to be bound to a hotkey because it's a basic window operation and there should be easy and quick access to it. Linux does this by default and I find it's an indispensable feature.

To get it on Windows search for AltDrag.

The most basic of window operations should have a visual affordance right in the UI because they're basic and no one should have to pause and ask themself "how do I move/resize a window?"

Remember your Bruce Tognazzini. Shortcuts are just that: shortcuts. They are NOT your primary interface. Everything should be visible and usable with just the mouse.
