I’m sorry, but I don’t think I should be using Gizmo’s, Gadgets, and Widgets. They’re all just really boring and not very useful. Plus, they’re all really expensive.
And why does Microsoft tout these as some revolutionary technology to bring us into the next century? I remember downloading a program called Desktop Sidebar back in 2003 for XP. This program did basically the same thing albeit not as graphically elite. At the time it was a pretty cool thing … I think I had that installed for 5 days before growing tired of it.
The Clock… yeah we have all seen the clock!
The CPU Meter… For some reason it reminds me of the racing game from back in the 80’s Pole Position.
I will admit I have found one gadget out of the bunch that is actually fairly interesting at times Multi Meter (Dual Core) V1.24
Well now that you know my position, how do the rest of you feel about “gadizmogets”? Am I the only one who dislikes them? Am I missing out on some that actually result in enhanced productivity? What are some of your favorites?
