Paul: The biggest reason for me, are clients that have two monitors on windows. Having the SDI means they can move the windows in our app anywhere they want. With the MDI if they want to use both monitors, they need to drag the MDI window across both windows. Having tried this myself, it just does not work well.
To a lesser degree, many windows users want to see their desktop picture, and the windows of other apps.
