window-in-window MDI [resume]

["Sergio A. Kessler" <sak tribctas gba gov ar>]

2nd. resume (from APOV):

pros:

- choice.
- choice.
- choice ? (if the app is hardcode to wiw mode, there is no choice)

(the point that's already done is completely irrelevant)

cons:

- arcaic and bad UI design (universally agreed).
- potential problems with wm.
- another thing to mantain (minor problem, it won't be me :)

PS: please, the point that some guys like the wiw mdi mode is
also irrelevant, to confirm this just ask to this list if users
want to have feature 'foo' (being foo the most horrible feature you
can think of), there will be 'yes' replies...

a usability expert don't ask users, they STUDY users ...
