Vista Gadgets - what have you got running?

I undock all my gadgets (like they will be in Windows 7).

This makes gadgets bigger and more useful, for example, the weather now shows me today's weather and the weather forecast for the next 3 days! I can have 3 currencies on my currency converter, and a larger notepad.

So basically here is my desktop (split across two monitors) plus gadgets:

(The picture slide show is the one in the bottom right of my second monitor)

Nothing, I don't much see the point in them. They seem more like a pointless gimmick than a useful tool.

XP

Yeah, don't see the point at all in the clock ones really.

I use windows XP but I must admit I do like the Vista gadgets.

When I was in Afghanistan, I had one set to Afghan time, and another set to UK time, so I knew when it was a good time to call home.

You can do that with the little clock in the corner.

Wouldn't having two clocks in my taskbar stretch it?

It's good for us "Auto-Hide Taskbar" folk.
Plus... I can't get a 24 themed clock in my taskbar

They only get in the way if you have them over your windows, keep them to desktop and you'll find they're useful and don't get in the way while working. If you need them while working, windows key + spacebar.

Thank you!

My sidebar looks like this:

Uuuurrrrrggggghhhhh hate 'auto hide'

None. I've not used any for ages now.

I run Mac OSX which has widgets instead. I don't use them.

Just my RSS feeds and the CPU meter.
