They created a Web application compatible with the Internet Explorer 4 browser (and announced compatibility with Netscape Navigator 4) that effectively simulates a user's desktop over the World Wide Web, so that it is accessible from anywhere. A full window management and application launching system existed, controlled by JavaScript code. Much of this code was downloaded during the login process, which made the first access very long (e.g. a few minutes) but the resulting user experience was like that one of desktop applications and not what would have been expected from traditional web applications. Desktop.com may be characterized as a predecessor to the later concepts of Ajax, rich Internet applications, web desktop, etc. References1. ^{{cite web | last = Festa| first = Paul| authorlink = Paul Festa| date = 1999-06-30| accessdate = 2007-10-07| title=Desktop.com joining Web-based applications market | url=http://www.news.com/Desktop.com-joining-Web-based-applications-market/2100-1023_3-227919.html }} 2. ^1 {{cite web| title = Start-Ups that Flopped in 2001; What Twenty-Four Financially Distressed Start-Ups Did to Attempt to Save Their Company| url = http://www.whiteandlee.com/papers_corporate_2001.html| authorlink = Abdi Shayesteh| last = Shayesteh| first = Abdi| accessdate = 2007-10-07}}
