MDI Confusion

I guess this is more of a rant, but I'm hoping there's something like a reg
fix option or something:

I'm familiar with MDI and how it works. But Office 2007's (and prior)
implementation is completely incomprehensible and confusing. When you open
multiple Excel documents they all open in the "same window," but the taskbar
leads you to believe that they are individual windows. They don't show up in
Vista FLIP. What?! You can't put them on different monitors. Resizing and
moving them is a non-intuitive mess.... mainly because of the great pains
the app goes to hide its MDI-ness.


You can put them on separate monitors by restoring the main program
window (that is, not maximized) then dragging it to fill the extended
desktop on the 2 monitors. THen you can size and position the individual
document windows as needed.
