I use the side bar gadgets having a wide screen monitor it really dows not take up much room for me, I like the clock the calender and the drag and drop for nero

I do really like the Vista sidebar; whilst some gadgets are quite gimmicky, there are really useful ones out there.

I have a clock, weather forecast and IDNet usage.

Some of the CPU and fan monitoring sidebar gagets use a lot of memory alas, the basic cpu monitor in vista is a good example of a resource hog
Damned, if you do damned if you don't
