Hi Doug, Thanks for the feedback and compliments!
We actually had sample content in the windows for some of our testing but decided not to include it in the explorer. Maybe we should put it in there... Performance was pretty decent I think, but can't say for sure as I don't think I ever added 30 windows filled with content. I think I will try to get some content options in the explorer and then you can really pound on it and see for yourself :) I know the window dragging thing was a problem early on but I thought I had fixed it and am not seeing it in the version of the explorer that is posted. Any time you are dragging a window and release outside the browser it sticks? Or are you referring to it jumping towards where you release the mouse? Anyhow, the code that is supposed to fix those issues is to listen for the MOUSE_LEAVE event on systemManager.stage. Oh, and MDIWindow actually extends Panel. Congratulations, you've submitted our first bug report. :) Dragging should definitely be disabled whena window is maximized, so I am adding that to the issues list now. Thanks again!
