    I'm still using most of the same ones from Vista although Imp's Hard Drive Info and Presto's Clock don't work anymore.

    When Vista came out first, I used to love these gadgets. But now, ever since i found Rainmeter, i don't think I'm ever gonna use 'em. :)

    Here's a link to its download.

    Rainmeter, in a nutshell, is a System Monitoring software, much like the windows gadgets. But you find that they are more convinient to suit your needs, than windows gadgets (at least i do! :) ). You can edit the skin of each gadget and modify it ur own way; meaning its more customizable.
