I don’t need Vista – I’ve got Mac Os X Tiger and Dashboard.
Last time I tried Windows blinds and Konfabulator (before it became Yahoo! widgets) my old PC slowed to a crawl and while it looked great, I couldn’t do anything else so I took it off. Having said that, the dashboard widgets on the Mac take up surprisingly large amounts of memory (10-20Mb at a time for a simple graphic seems a bit excessive to me) and aren’t they simiiar javaspript apps blatantly ripping off Konfabulator? Anyway, I wondered if your Yahoo! widgets took up much memory?
