| Yeah, they did. I'm still sad apple didn't hire them, or even acknowledge their contribution. Its nothing like the good old days with extension writers getting hired/payed when their stuff was integrated.

| i thought gadgets were stand alone apps. where as widgets require a runtime engine be that Konfab or Dash. AFAIK the only people to do 'Gadgets' are DesktopX Pro. but i could be wrong. |

| I'd say it would be run similar to dashboard via that sidebar (if they recquire a 'runtime engine'). Via that microsoftgadgets site - they sure do look pretty ugly besides the investments one. Then again vista is in beta1. |
