Hi everyone,

In Issue 25 of the mag we're trying to find out how many gadgets you're using in your Windows Sidebar.

Have you got far too many, or have you turned off Windows Sidebar altogether?

Tell us how many you have and we'll publish the results in Issue 25 of Windows Vista: The Official Magazine.

Thanks,
Nick

Happy to be on an Island in the sun; just wish I could find one;-)

Depending on the season, I use anywhere between 4 and 10 gadgets.

I keep track of scores (real-time updates) of important MLB, NBA and NFL games.

I also have weather, alarm clock, countdown timer and wireless signal gauge . . .

Hi Cecil,

Fair enough, it certainly does consume a little bit of memory (which you can see in the Task Manager). Don't forgot to vote though!

Thanks,
