Xbox Live Vista Gadget & More!
I happen to enjoy the sidebar in Windows Vista. It provides an at-a-glance look at some of the most frequently looked at items on my desktop. Here is a list of my must-have Windows Vista Sidebar gadgets.
- Xbox Friends Watch: A new silverlight based gadget showing the status of up to five of your favorite Xbox Live friends.
- Digital Dutch Clock: an update to the Vista sidebar clock with adjustable titles, date, seconds, minutes, and digital readout.
- System Center Operations Manager gadget: For SCOM 2007, this configurable sample of a gadget will give you the quick look at your infrastructure.
- Windows Live Traffic Gadget (download down now): a realtime look out the window on the traffic status for most of the major cities in the US.
