Does anyone know if there are any disadvantages to
showing a form with in a panel? I have a main form with
panel on it. I want to show other forms with in the
panel. Just starting this project and try to make sure
I'm not going down the wrong path if there is a better
way. I was trying to avoid doing an MDI. I have been
under the impression that Microsoft was getting away from
MDI interfaces. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would use tabs (like MS does in VS .NET):
