I'm not a big fan of the gadgets that ship with Window releases. Instead I tend to pick up a few from third party sources such as Addgadget.com or OrbLog » Sidebar Gadgets.
However, since I upgraded to the CP from DP, most of these third party gadgets are working properly.
One of my favorites: 7bar, is particularly screwed up. It gives me an error like this
All of the others that I have tried relate to hardware monitoring.
Addgadget.com's network meter for example can't see any of my network adapters.
The GPU Observer from blog.orbmu2k.de can't even detect a GPU.
I know that Microsoft has stopped hosting most of the Desktop Gadgets on their site but have they also dropped support, period?
