Do you know of a widget that looks like Yahoo! but can run on Windows XP SP1??

Hey, thanks for the mention!

We’re actually working on a new (and free of course) widget platform called Amnesty Hypercube that runs web widgets (e.g. Google Gadgets, YourMinis, YouTube videos, Flash games, etc.) right on your desktop. And if you’re a Tiger or Vista user, you can “push” these widgets into your Dashboard or Sidebar from Hypercube with one click.

Any web widget that is designed to cut-and-paste into a blog or profile page should run fine inside Amnesty Hypercube, which means there are tens of thousands of widgets out there.

We’re releasing Amnesty Hypercube as a public alpha on July 10 (for OS X Panther and Tiger) and August 28 (for XP and Vista).

Totally agree ‘Yahooo widgets’ are rather heavy on memory, same goes for Google Desktop.

Hi there:

I find the Yahoo Widgets take a lot of memory space. I only use it once a month for some fun. Great list of widgets …

Linux users also have great widget engines: SuperKaramba for KDE, gDesklets for GNOME, aDesklets for both, etc…
