As far as I am concerned MDI is dead.
I much prefer a single frame Explorer style of application with occasional
pop-out dialogs and forward-back buttons a la Internet. Most users have non
trouble and those that do pop out too many dialogs soon can be trained to
use the drop down menu to control their various windows. They would have to
go there to tile or cascade anyway.

Rather than trad MDI - I use a panel on the main form with child forms
and a tree navigator to make them visible (sort of like outlook)
After all who ever wants to Cascade or Tile MDI app
