I have always followed the web based desktop space with interest and was surprised today when I saw one that looked nice like Vista (well kinda)!

Its very cool looking but like most doesnt really serve any purpose other than the generic calandar and contacts deal. Surely something like this could offer more. At least open a framework which allows others to develope applications within it?

None the less another step in the evolution.

And on another note have you seem the WPF version of the Vista Yahoo messenger client. Man it looks sweet!
