Konfabulator

Konfabulator - Gallery

A bit like the Mac Dashboard but for the PC too. At first I wasn't all that impressed as I thought it was a bit gimicky. However I have to say after I found a few nice widgets it has won me over. I think the proof of the pudding will be in the eating and if I still like it in a week.

Dave's Quick Search Toolbar has been with me for nearly three years now, and despite the bug with Win XP SP2 I still use it more than any other app on my PC. Especially as it's easy to configure more searches for it to use, plus is compacts a lot of the functionality of multiple widgets into one little tool.
