    *Widget links wanted.. Please post links here to your favorite widgets! :)

    Just curious to know if all Widgets are the same.. I saw some i liked on yahoo widjets, but it wanted yahoo widget software to be downloaded first before useing them, which i don't want to do.. So, i guess i'm looking to know if that is really needed or if all widjets are compatible with the Acer Vista software.

    sounds logic that you need the widget of a third party software to monitor the temperature. I don't think a small widget alone is enough as temperature monitoring is not build into windows.
