Thanks Nick,

How far are we away from having a book or labs or even an Ascend program for Avalon?

Ok, well this is possibly the dumbest decision that I have ever heard of. Probably 90+% of all applications (including Word, Excel and most other MS applications are MDI. Almost all database applications of any complexity are MDI applications.

MS word's use of the start bar for all windows being a perfect example of a stupid interface that people don't like shows you exactly what you can expect when you don't have MDI. And if you expect to fill in functionality you should have by interoping with old stuff? WOW. I can't believe you think that's an acceptable solution. It's like leaving out a text box control in .net V1.0 because interoping the Win32 version is "so easy!"

DUH.

I'm glad MDI's gone, actually. I hope you guys don't put it back in unless you figure out how to support non-rectangular display areas (i.e. multiple monitors) without wasting screen space or making users wrestle with aligning child windows.

MDI was nice, but as more people are using multiple monitors, it's becoming more and more obsolete.
