Vista: The Sidebar is Pretty Cool

I know you have been bombarded with article after article on how Vista sucks.  I have been running Vista since July and love it.  One of the nice new features is the Side Bar.  I have customized my Side Bar to show my Outlook Tasks that are due Today, My Appointments, a Clock,  and how much of my processor and ram I am using.  The Side Bar sits on the right hand side of my screen.  When I hook up to multiple monitors, it has no problem moving to the right side of the screen.

 

There are many different applications (Microsoft calls them gadgets) you can setup with your Vista Side Bar, including Ebay Auction Reminders, Calculators, and links to Gmail.   Check out a list here:  http://vista.gallery.microsoft.com/vista/SideBar.aspx?mkt=en-us
