Javascript Windows Framework

Question

Sometimes I see web based software that is designed using some slick javascript windows which try to emulate the Windows desktop experience (draggable windows and a start menu).

Are there any free frameworks like this available?

I won't put this in as an answer, because it's ooooooooold (really old), but I wrote something like this, and it's available at http://www.ryankinal.com/javascript/SquishyUI.php - It likely needs updating, and it's pretty rough, but it should work. — Ryan Kinal, Sep 15 '10 at 15:55

I have extensive experience with this. I'm looking for something more specific to giving that windows feel to a webpage. UI does rock, though. – Ronnie Overby Sep 15 '10 at 16:02

Maybe you want to have a look at http://qooxdoo.org/demo - I don't have experience with it, but it looks quite capable.
