Depends on what you want to accomplish. I use MDI (multiple document
interface) when it's likely that the user will have more than one
"document" open at the same time. Internet Explorer is an example where I
would seriously consider using MDI instead of the SDI (single document
interface) that it uses. In MDI, the documents share the menu and are
limited to the parent window size. In SDI, the desktop is the parent
window and each document have it's own menu. ALT-TABing with MDI will only
show 1 instance no matter how many documents you have, where SDI will show
all documents as a separate icon.
