Microsoft’s Familiar Vista
February 14th, 2006This C|Net article talks about Vista, Microsoft’s next Windows upgrade. A lot of attention is given to Sidebar (here’s a link to a larger screenshot), which seems to be pretty much the same deal as the sidebar in the Google Desktop.
I wonder how difficult it will be to turn Vista’s toolbar on and off. Google’s sidebar is a nice feature … at first. But it sucks up a lot of resources. Having weather, headlines and a slide show on my desktop all the time simply isn’t worth slowing down my whole system.
