Hi RBL,
Umm...I think you are trying to challenge me! I confess that I do not
know the meaning of the "FT" in MSFT Office nor do I understand "MDI
approach".
well, 'ft' are two last letters from the full name :)
mdi - multiple document interface.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_document_interface
as for it's usefulness...
first, most desktop environments provide a grouping functionality (with
a possibility to configure for always/never/when taslbar full), which i
despise and disable :)
our popular opensource contenders provide virtual desktops, which i find
much easier to use - and they nicely work to group my application
windows in any way i want.
there are proposals to implement something resembling tdi
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabbed_document_interface :) ) in oo.org,
but that won't happen tomorrow.
