Since interfaces are a subset of multiple inheritance, I'm not sure how you conclude that they are more flexible.

how can it be more flexible? inheriting from a class is nothing like inheriting from a interface, the interface only defines a contract without actual functionality/code-reuse

A:
Multiple inheritance complicates the language and its implementation. I suspect the designers decided that the gains weren't worth the pains.

A:
C#, like Java supports a way to deal with multiple inheritance by allowing a class to implement multiple Interfaces. Its not quite multiple inheritance but it can accomplish what you want to get done.

Interestingly, there is a version of Eiffel for .Net that uses CLR interfaces and delegates to implement Eiffel's version if Multiple Inheritance.
