Vista Sidebar Gadget
You Need Vista Sidebar Gadget
The Windows Vista sidebar gadget is a vertical bar which runs along the right side of the desktop. The Sidebar is capable of displaying a varied number of graphical gadget interfaces, which of' course depends on the size of the gadget used. Beware! If you happen to cram too many gadgets into the Sidebar, it will automatically end up creating a new page. You can switch to this new page with a single click.
Windows Vista has truly let imagination run wild when it comes to creating gadgets. The truth in this statement, you shall find when you browse through the Microsoft's Gadget Gallery. This you can easily access through Vista. All you have to do is right-click on the Sidebar, and then click "Add Gadgets". In the new window, click on 'Get More Gadgets Online'. This plain maneuver will open the Pandora's Box for you. You will encounter a wide array of gadget which would take many pages of Sidebars to contain them all.
The next important question that you need to ask yourself is which ones you truly need. The list is full of search related tools meant for niche Web sites. It also has unique channel Web radio feeds, RSS feeds, and commercial tie-ins. These are the most functional and funky ones I could see. There are many others which fall under the category of non-necessities. But having said that, they are ones, which can be a good past time at a boring meeting.
All in all, the new gadgets by Windows Vista are something worth checking out. It is up to you as an individual to decide which ones you want and which ones you don't. But ultimately what matters is that, whether very useful, or just something that to pretty up your desktop, Windows Vista has definitely gone the whole nine yards to meet everybody's needs. The sidebar is fun, easy to use and functional and maybe a good add-on feature. The process of adding the sidebar is not cumbersome and it doesn't take a lot of time either.

Windows Vista SP2
Windows Vista SP2: What to Expect
I've gotten a number of emails about Microsoft's next major update to Windows Vista with SP2. Although I published a short description of this service pack on the SuperSite for Windows before Microsoft announced SP2 last October, I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't provided any substantial updates since then--which is particularly odd because I've been using various versions of SP2 with Vista on a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 since last fall. So let's take a look.
First, Microsoft will almost certainly ship SP2 to the public in April. This follows three major prerelease milestones, including Beta 1 in late October 2008, Beta 2 in December 2008, and, most recently, RC1 late last week. I've installed each of these releases, in turn, on that Lenovo laptop, on which I also test the Internet Explorer 8.0 RC build.
Before getting into the functional changes in Vista SP2, I should point out that this release will be a shared, common update between Windows Server 2008 and Vista. This is possible because Microsoft has now aligned its client and server OS releases--so when Server 2008 shipped last year, it did so with the code for SP1 included. Moving forward, customers will have a simpler task of testing and deploying service packs. (This release also creates the strange situation in which SP2 is the second service pack for Vista, but the first for Server 2008. But I'll try not to dwell on that.)
From a functional standpoint, SP2 is nothing like Vista SP1. That is, it doesn't include major functional, reliability, or performance improvements. Instead, SP2 is largely a traditional service pack, aggregating all of the hotfixes and other updates that Microsoft has released since SP1. (And yes, as a result SP1 is a prerequisite for installing SP2.) Thus, Server 2008 SP2 and Vista SP2 systems should be almost completely compatible with software and drivers written for Server 2008, Vista, and Vista SP1.
That said, SP2 does include some minor functional updates. After all, time marches on, and Microsoft needs to address emerging trends when possible. Functional updates in SP2 include:
Windows Search 4.0. Available now as a separate update for Vista, Windows Search 4.0 offers better performance, enhanced Group Policy support, and the ability to index encrypted files.
Bluetooth 2.1 support. Also available now as a separate update called the Windows Vista Feature Pack for Wireless, this update supports the latest version of the Bluetooth wireless standard.
Blu-ray data disc writing. With SP2, you can natively write to Blu-ray data discs from the Vista shell. (This functionality doesn't include creating Blu-ray movies.)
exFAT file system support improvements. Microsoft developed the Extended FAT, or exFAT, file system as a more modern file system for flash devices such as USB storage. (That is, it overcomes the 4GB file size limit from FAT/FAT32 and can handle more than 1,000 files in a single folder.) Microsoft added exFAT support to Vista with SP1, but with SP2 that support is extended to include Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) timestamps, facilitating file synchronization across time zones.
Wi-Fi improvements. SP2 utilizes Windows Connect Now (WCN) technologies to simplify Wi-Fi configurations (this functionality is also available now as part of the Windows Vista Feature Pack for Wireless). Wi-Fi connection performance is also improved when resuming from sleep mode.
VIA 64-bit support. With SP2, Vista now supports 64-bit VIA microprocessors.
Power management improvements. The default power management policies are approximately 10 percent more efficient than before, according to Microsoft.
In addition to the changes noted above, some SP2 changes are Server 2008-specific. For example, whereas the original shipping version of Server 2008 included a prerelease version of the Hyper-V virtualization solution, the final shipping version of Hyper-V 1.0 is included in SP2. (Customers could previously download this version for free.) And Hyper-V brings with it one free guest OS installation with Server 2008 Standard Edition, four free licenses with Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, and an unlimited number of free licenses with Server 2008 Datacenter Edition. SP2 also cleans up some Terminal Server license key issues.
Finally, SP2 includes a service pack clean-up tool (compcln.exe) that permanently deletes older versions of the RTM- and SP1-based files that SP2 replaces. Employing this tool can save disk space, of course, but it can also be used to reduce the size of future installation images.
If you're interested in testing SP2 and aren't on the beta list, Microsoft will likely make the RC1 version available via MSDN and TechNet soon. (The December Beta 2 release is currently available.)
