MDI stands for "Multiple Document Interface". It is a GUI policy that is used by an application where it opens up windows within its own larger window. The first time I saw it was on Windoze. Opera uses it, StarOffice uses it.
IMHO it can be a useful UI technique if used judiciously, but for the most part, its usually overused and not overridable by users who prefer separate windows. Again, thats just my opinion and about 10+ years of UI design/development experience talking.
