O.P. Give me sugestion: Widgets or Desktop Sidebar???
Hello guys...
I was doing nothing and started to see around on internet... Then I started to see for the Vista Gadgets (or something like that) and searched for similar thing for XP...

Well.... What is best?? Widgets (from Yahoo) or the Desktop SideBar???
Vote for the poll and tell your experiences....

Thanks!!!

I'm without doubt, Widgets. I've had a far better experience with them than the sidebar.


In my case, the sidebas been a huge memory hog, simply slowing things down.
Also, I find there to be a better repository of widgets for the widget engine.

I've never used widgets, so don't know well they run. However, when I tested Vista back in the day, sidebar was l33t. You just have to find applications that don't use a huge ammount of resources :).
