Yes, that is what I am referring to. MDI is an old throwback to an era
gone by. As for opening 7-8 instances of IE or NS there is no difference
other than interface. Since the memory is shared there is no added memory
usage of multiple windows over MDI when it comes to the main application. For
example, each new window of Netscape Communicator 4.51 adds another ~250k. In
Opera each new window adds about another ~55k. Given the comparative sizes of
the programs, that is chump change.
Given those reasons I fail to see why anyone would want MDI.
