Cocoa Document-Based App v. Windows MDI App

Subject: Cocoa Document-Based App v. Windows MDI App

I am the only Mac programmer where I work; the rest being windows. I am constantly challenged to make Mac programs look like windows to some extent.

Windows has an architecture called Multiple Document Interface. Each doc opened is displayed in the same window 'frame' with a row of tab controls at the top to select a document.

A Cocoa Document-Based App is one document one window ... multiple windows.

How do I win the battle of 'too many windows floatin' around on the Mac, we want everything in one window like windows!" ?

Can I use Safari  tabs somehow?
