I loved MDI, and was actually frustrated with the somewhat watered down Office 97 version of it. It's like tabs, but you can also put dialogs side by side.

- GekkePrutser 5y agoWell it did have its benefits yes. However it was a total PITA if you wanted to work in 2 documents on 2 different screens. You had to stretch the window across both screens and then position the sub-windows manually. You couldn't just plonk each on a display and maximise. And scrolling regions within scrolling regions really are awful IMO.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoWell, you've got a point about multi-display. Once that came around, it lost its appeal.
