Widget You Say?
I don't get into the whole fight over Mac vs. PC. To me it is like two brothers, one thinks right-brained and the other thinks left-brained. The people that side with one or the other seem to follow that same battle between areas of the mind. The competition is good also, as it helps to refine the product on both ends. Enough with Darwinism and Capitalism, there is one aspect that a Macintosh has that Windows is copying for Widgets and the Dashboard are some of the best things about Macs. I LOVE the idea of swiping everything from your screen and just having the core essentials of your life pop up with the press of a function key. If RSS feeds have become like mainlining news into my bloodstream, I can't begin to think how much I'm going to be dependent on these Gadgets (Windows new-founded knockoff name for the Widgets). I'm out of the Mac loop, so I'm not used to seeing everything from surf charts to daylight clocks and recipe updates to sports tickers on my desktop in one screen.
When I get my RSS reader in Gadget form; I'm going to end up a junkie.
