    Not a useful software. The idea have a lot of potential that microsoft didn't accomplished.

    It makes my desktop look pretty, that's it. The fact that it doesn't slide out like the Google Sidebar (or heck, ANY other deskbar for that matter) is a serious flaw. I either have to permanently give up a portion of my horizontal real estate for it, or I have to go to the desktop to see it. Also, I have yet to find any gadgets for it that were especially useful...suddenly wondering why I don't just turn it off...

    It is simple and good looking.I think it is better than all other sidebars like Google's.

    On Vista the sidebar is very stable and less resource consuming compared to the Google gadgets or Yahoo widgets I was running on XP. Its loads fast and doesn't interfere with your general use.

    By the way, if you see an obvious fanboy like review like mrbrightstide...click on their name. Its usually an apple iTard with an inferiority complex.

    I must say I am not particularly fond of the sidebar. I do however like the gadgets that are part of it. And you know what? You can use those gadgets directly on your desktop, without actually showing the toolbar itself. So thumbs up for this one.

    bye bye to Yahoo widgets and so long to Google (ugly) sidebar... Hello Microsoft Sidebar & Gadgets... As said before, it is handy built-into the system, easy to use and already creative people are deploying some smart amazing gadgets. :)

    It gets slow on me sometimes. Thats probasbly because I am using it differently than most people.
