Vista: Must have Sidebar Gadgets

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

  1. Ebay Sidebar Tool - May display information about current sales, the watchlist and items that you bid on. Includes a quick search as well. Works with all localized eBay websites.
  2. App Launcher - Add icons to the app launcher box which can be used to start software that is installed on your computer. Similar to a quick launch function.
  3. Battery Monitor - Vista is running on my Toshiba notebook and it is nice that I can use the Battery Monitor to keep an eye on the battery level of my notebook. Pretty useful.
  4. Run - Launch applications,open folders or open urls by typing their names in the run box.
  5. Binsearch Sidebar - Binsearch is a great site that spiders Usenet posts on their site and makes those posts searchable. Now you can search using the sidebar gadget instead of going to the site first.
  6. Gmail Reader - notifies you when you have new mail in your inbox. Can also display a summary of the 20 latest messages.

About Microsoft Talk

This blog is for you all Microsoft enthusiasts out there. Somehow we happen to use Microsoft directly or indirectly. Microsoft revolutised what we call IT today. We are connected with Microsoft in some or the other way. Depending on which side of the fence you are on, you take note, Microsoft is everywhere. If you use non-MS products, your ISP, your web-host, yours truly - somebody somewhere is using Microsoft or is a spin off as a result of something that Microsoft had to offer then. Invariable, we do end end up using Microsoft Technologies. What do you think?

With MSTALKONLINE, you will come to experience Microsoft Technologies, that you experience day to day. In the weeks to come, I will focus on latest and greatest happenings in the land of Microsoft and your comments and suggestions will be one of the driving factors
