Desktop Gadgets - am I alone in finding these useless
Hi all
They appeared first in VISTA - and have carried on into W7 (thankfully not enabled by default).
Am I the only one who HATES that type of clutter on the desktop -- for me just a nice wallpaper with a minimal amount of clutter on the desktop is my preferred way of working.
I can't see any reason to know what the traffic is like in Shanghai or today's favorite menu in the "South Sea Islands" prominently displayed on a desktop while I am working - but if people like it - who am I to deny it to them.
I would much rather MS made a USEFUL facility like having a number of Virtual desktops all 100% independently configuarable like they did in XP. (The W7 compatable version in the SYSINTERNALS suite isn't nearly as good as the old XP one and doesn't independently configure all the desktops).
Most Linux distros (especially using KDE or GNOME GUI's) have had this facility for YEARS.
Cheers
