Curtis Maloney writes: Is it possible to simulate this sort of environment in an XML client? Hmm... what sort of XML client did you have in mind? I may be wrong, but I suspect you may have made a similar mistake to most people who encounter XML. XML is not a whole data format, in much the same way as TCP is not a whole protocol. HTTP is a protocol that uses TCP, just as XHTML and DocBook are data formats that use XML. XML allows any XML compliant parser to PARSE the contents, but not neccesarily COMPREHEND it. So, a custom XML client could be built which would understand whatever I sent it, and display the desktop accordingly. However, an 'off the shelf' XML 'client'... who could say. I meant a custom client.

It's free to sign up, just use explorer 5.0 and try it. I was amazed. It has drag and drop, looks like a real desktop. Interestingly enough, I had recently been joking about with some friends about doing something like this. Simulating a Win9x desktop with ZOPE and Javascript. I don't know jack about javascript really. Is that all they are using to simulate drag and drop and a desktop? Now for the Zope angle: I am curious if anyone thinks Zope can server up content like this? XML Desktop? I figured storing most of the info in XMLDocuments would be the simplest... I think they are using ColdFusion though. An actual webtop powered by Zope. What would it take? Hmm... well, about 2 weeks of uninterrupted time and I'd suprise even myself with how much it did. (o8 And then we woke up. They say they are going to release it OpenSource on their developer page. ;) Ooh... sounds neat.
