MDI is a solution to a problem of Windows' own making, where window == process.

Please don't spread misinformation about Windows, it makes us look bad. Windows' concept of a window is very different from our concept thereof. Nothing restricts Windows apps to one window or enforces a window = process equality.

MDI is a design choice. One that conflicted with MS's goals for a more document-centric UI in Chicago/Win95 and won out.
