Improve Windows with the addition of widgets
Widgets is a word used to describe a new breed of software: tools that you never knew you wanted, until you start playing with them.
Though not dissimilar to traditional Windows add-ons and utilities in terms of functionality, the presentation of widgets is much quirkier.
Windows’ Calculator application, for example, is a functional calculator, ditto the Windows clock. However, in widget world, two applications rarely look or operate in the same way.
A number of different widgets ‘platforms’ exist. One of the best is from Yahoo and fittingly enough, it is called Yahoo Widgets.
