Tabs is a form of "Multiple Top-Level Windows Interface"?
Windows MDI is a nested window manager. Tile and Cascade, move and resize, maximize, minimize. That is gone. Windows stay maximized, title bar eaten by buttons and tabs.
Browser tabs is Taskbar:
* Navigation: Ctrl+Tab vs Alt+Tab
* Position: Top vs Screen Edge
* when open a lot both were unmanageable
- qubex 6y agoMDI stands for “Multiple Document Interface”. I have no idea what (Windows-specific) construct you are referring to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-document_interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-document_interface
- sergeykish 6y agoI am not Windows developer and sure I didn't know this "Windows-specific construct". But I can google https://www.google.com/search?q=Multiple+Top-Level+Windows+Interface https://www.google.com/search?q=Multiple+Top-Level+Windows+I... Also I can look on the link I post and Ctrl+F "Multiple Top-Level Windows Interface" > Microsoft Word 2003: MDI until Microsoft Office 97. After 2000, Word has a Multiple Top-Level Windows Interface, thus exposing to shell individual SDI instances, while the operating system recognizes it as a single instance of an MDI application.
