The Sitecore Desktop is similar to the standard Microsoft Windows XP desktop in many ways, only located in a web browser. Applications in Sitecore are opened in their own windows and can be managed - resized and placed anywhere on the desktop - just like Microsoft Windows applications.

The screenshot below shows the Desktop interface with two Sitecore applications opened in their own windows:
