Dude, that is sooooo Early Summer 2009 (about 3 Internet years old).

Seriously though - that is wicked cool & I've never seen it in production.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

It looks great on Internet Explorer... although i never use IE8 unless i absolutely have to.
Looks like there could be some browser related issues, as i opened the first site originally with Chrome and only saw images stacked on each other.

I dunno... It looks kinda hokey to me. What looks good on computer desktop (launchy, etc) doesn't necessarily translate well to a website's UI.
