he Unofficial Google Web Desktop (not created by Google) brings some of the look and feel of the traditional desktop to the web by integrating with Google Docs and Spreadsheets and creating a drag-and-drop desktop interface for your documents. Launching a document opens Google Docs and Spreadsheets on top of your desktop with some ajax-y flash. Right now it's in major need of some sort of folder structure (specifically the structure you've set up in Google Docs), but if you prefer the look and feel of a desktop

err... just picked up on a few more problems I have with it...
No sort of order, Takes ages to get Docs where you want them (Mostly off the bottom of my screen as I don't really need them) Then it re-sets it all when you leave, and it doesn't update unless you leave.

Still undecided on the way you view Docs (a "window" on the page) as you can't open more than one at a time (I suppose it does give you the option to open in a new window, but AFTER you've opened it)
