Hack Attack: Desktop-integrated internet office - Lifehacker

Now this is something that's been missing I think from my collection of web based tools, now I don't actually have anything on my desktop, in fact for the most part my desktop is actually my browser in full screen mode with my Google Desktop loaded and using my custom made Quick Launch bar.

For those of you coming into the middle of this I'm referring to my attempt at living the "Office 2.0" life.

Over on Lifehacker.com I came across the following post where they actually made it possible to integrate (somewhat) their real desktop with their web based applications. Personally though I ignore my "real" desktop and use only my web desktop but I can really see the merit in this. They've done it using AutoHotKey and they've got a complete write up on it and downloads and everything.

Perhaps things are getting a step closer with all the latest advancements to the online services...
