Voted no. My keyboard keeps track of the few things I care about.

[Waco]

I use the MS Weather gadget, a CPU/RAM usage gadget, and a networking monitor gadget on all my machines. On my desktop and HTPC I run a drive space / drive activity gadget as well.

Windows 7 Sidebar Gadgets (slow to warm up to that idea - but has finally settled in)

 

Quick Launch - splendidly genius

Clock - just because I can

Date - because I'm date/time challenged (see clock above )

Weather

 

Interesting that Adobe AIR is on the poll list - that sucker doesn't cause me anything but event viewer error log messages caused by some conflict between Windows 7 Side-by-Side and Adobe AIR. Still haven't figured that one out......... Anyone else notice the same or is my situation unique?

[Miek]

I have the gadget bar disabled, actually. So I voted "No" in the poll.
