Top Vista Gadgets
The top Vista gadgets for your sidebar can be very useful for a variety of tasks. Not everyone love the Vista sidebar, and Microsoft chose to do away with it in Windows 7 in favor of floating gadgets on the desktop. Still, for those who don't like their desktop to be too busy and prefer everything organized in one place the concept works well.
The Calendar is one gadget that seems to be a favorite of many people. This gadget is used more frequently than other Vista gadgets, especially by those with many deadlines to keep track of. Another excellent replacement for Vista calendar is called zCalendar. It shares a similar format to Vista calendar but it also lets you highlight days, set alerts, take notes and even update you with audio alerts of your choosing.
