When I first began using Windows Vista, I dismissed the Sidebar as a gimmick. It didn’t help that the default gadgets Microsoft offered were of limited utility and that some early gadgets caused performance problems.

Over time, though, I’ve become a Sidebar convert. I haven’t encountered a performance problem with a Vista gadget since SP1 was released. More importantly, the selection of third-party gadgets has grown tremendously, and there are now plenty of good business-focused tools to choose from.

This freeware let's you create widgets for your Windows or Mac:
Amnesty Hypercube is more than just a new desktop widget platform.
It's also the easiest way to collect, manage, share and publish "web widgets" -- snippets of code meant for your blog, home page or MySpace profiles.
Already using Sidebar? Any widget in Amnesty Hypercube can be pushed into your Sidebar with one click, which makes it a perfect extension to Vista's native widget environment.
