Konfabulator - Dashboard for Windows!
Seeing as I've not got a Apple Macintosh computer yet I'll have to settle for this nifty utility called Konfabulator which brings you a Dashboard just like that of Mac OS X Tiger, but for Windows!
If you're looking for more widgets then browse on over to the Widget Gallery for some great addons. The widgets that are included are quite stunning - they're fast and work well and complement your desktop. Just press F8 to just show the Widgets just like in Tiger! Hmmm now maybe I can create Widget that will allow me to post to my Wordpress blog?
