Just curious, which gadgets do you keep on your sidebar (if you use it at all)?

Weather.

Weather, news. The weather thing is actually kind of pointless since I can't see what it's going to be like later in the day - just right now.

Sidebar is horrible. Msoft needs to scrap it completely.

Lack of sidebar is one of my biggest peeves with Win7. They took away functionality, and added nothing.

Weather, stocks, multiwoot and coconutview (axis cam viewer for our office camera).
I don't use the sidebar itself though, I have gadgets floating on desktop with sidebar closed. A lot of people don't realize you can do this with Vista, it's better done in 7.

I thought they took out the sidebar but still left floating gadgets on the desktop?

 

[Fenixgoon]

cpu/ram, quick power/restart/logoff

for some reason, weather always disappears after like a week

They did, but that doesn't work well for me. I like being able to maximize a window, and still see my gadgets. As Loup stated above, I could already free float gadgets with Vista, no sidebar is a deal killer.
