31.05.2006Windows Vista RC2 Build 5744 Released
Microsoft has just released
build 5744 of Vista for
Technical Beta testers on
Microsoft Connect.
On the connect website it
says: Windows Vista RC1
(5744-16384) is here!
Jim Allchin's post on
Connect:
People asked for it, and
here it is, Windows Vista RC2!
We wanted you to be the first
to get these bits; next week
they'll be available to a
broader set of customers via
MSDN and TechNet.
All your great feedback has
helped us focus on nothing but
bug fixes over the past month
since RC 1 - each and every
day. There are thousands of
quality improvements since
Windows Vista RC1. You'll
probably notice improvements
in performance, application
compatibility, as well as fit
and finish work. We will
continue improving quality
until RTM. If you are an ISV,
please use this build
(certainly at least RC1 or
later) to get certified. Visit
www.innovateonvista.com for
more information on logo
certification.
You
are integral to this creation
and refinement process. We are
just around the corner from
RTM and shipping this great
product to the world. This
will be the last build made
available prior to RTM, so
please keep the feedback
coming so we can hit the
finish line. Thanks for your
help in finishing the job!

Many PC OEMs ship Windows

You may've found that they
install their own home-grown
gadgets to show off additional
features or apps installed on
the PC, or as sales tools for
other products. You may even
have turned off the Sidebar
because you already have a
clock in the systray and you
use other ways to check RSS
feeds.
If so, you're
missing out, as there's a
Windows Sidebar gadget for
almost anything you might
want: PC utilities, music,
messaging, traffic reporting,
searching or just a quick game
can be yours with a click of
the mouse. If you haven't
taken the time to explore
gadgets beyond those loaded by
default, take a minute to
right-click the Sidebar and
select 'Add Gadgets.' From
there, click 'Get More
Gadgets Online' -- youll find
over 1000 different gadgets
available for download.
There are still other ways
to find gadgets: visit the
Microsoft
Gadgets Gallery,
Windows Live
Gallery and

Project for hundreds more.
In addition, you'll find
links to resources for
developers and a way to submit

07.10.2006WebSlices Hit the Desktop
Sarah Perez: I just saw

Sean Lyndersay's new Sidebar gadget called the "
WebSlice Viewer Gadget." This brilliant little
creation brings IE8's WebSlices (bits of web content that you can access from the new IE8 Favorites Bar) right to your desktop via a simple Vista
Sidebar gadget.
The gadget, currently
in alpha (you've been warned!), requires Vista (unknown if x64 supported,
but let us know), IE8, and a web page that has
some WebSlices. Each
instance of the WebSlice Viewer shows only one WebSlice, so you will need to open multiple gadgets to show multiple views.>

23.02.2006Outlook 2007 Gadgets for Windows Sidebar
If you’re a fan of the Outlook 2007 To-Do Bar, but wish your upcoming appointments and tasks could be shown even when Outlook was minimized,
I’ve got great news for you, you can do this today with the Outlook Sidebar Gadgets.
One of the new features introduced in Windows
Vista is the Windows Sidebar, an application that allows gadgets—small applications that provide quick access to useful information or
commands—to be displayed on your desktop or in the Sidebar.
The Sidebar presented a great opportunity for Outlook to surface the same
information that we show in the To-Do Bar. To this end, we developed two Outlook gadgets: Outlook Appointments and Outlook Tasks. These gadgets can be
used independently or together to provide at-a-glance information without the need to bring up Outlook.
