He's right on that point, even the old Macs (way back to even the Mac Plus/
older) used a different window for each document. (Yes, even on a 9" screen!)

Not to mention Linux, probably BeOS, *old* *nixes of all sorts...

(Linux listed seperately as a "new-age" *nix; may apply to other variants too)

And it should also be noted that Netscape, and last I checked, Internet
Explorer, which are (unfortunately) doomed to be the UI of the future also do
this.

Is there any real argument for it?
