Microsoft Gadgets
From the Microsoft Gadgets Blog comes a discussion of Microsoft’s upcoming feature “Gadgets”
From the site:
“What are Gadgets? Gadgets are a new category of mini-application designed to provide information, useful lookup, or enhance an application or service on your Windows PC or the Web. Examples might include a weather gadget running on your desktop or on your homepage, an RSS Gadget that pulls in your favorite feeds, or an extension of a business application providing just-in-time status on the pulse of your business.”
You have got to be kidding . . . this is a direct knockoff of Apple’s Widget functionality in OSX. Crazy . . . I guess imitation continues to be the sincerest form of flattery.
Apple should feel extremely flattered . . . or not.
