The Vista widgets were the only good ones. CPU and memory usage as a speedometer was pretty cool.

Showing me random news or stocks on my desktop feels like harassment.

Not to worry: They’ll kill them off for the seventh time, just as adoption has taken off and people have started to rely on them.

Edit: Love the overly bombastic soundtrack and terrible screen tearing in that ad. Good stuff. /s

All widgets on all desktop operating systems can fuck right off
