Looking for examples of sites that give you the feel of a desktop experience (clicking on hard drive icon, work/content displayed in OS windows, etc)

It's a shame this old gem doesn't recognize modern browsers... It was MIND BLOWING when I first saw it—perhaps in 1999 or so? Real smooth drag and drop, resizable fake windows, window shadows, etc. Much easier to pull off now. But back then it was the bleeding edge. Back when "DHTML" was the hip term.

Here you go:
http://bit.ly/pOajazIt's a an xml based file system, with full folder level structure and OS apps like photo viewer, video player, email client, IM client, stickies, twitter widget etc etc..
It was meant to appear as if a visitor is exploring Nev's computer and see how he interacts with and you do like a bit of voyeuristic approach. You can even see his prior chats with the chick if you go to My Documents/Chat or history or something like that.. I forget.
