My desktop is almost empty and I've not taken advantage of the new Windows Gadgets, but I'm just about to have an explore of which ones are available now

Which ones do you use at the moment and are there any you'd recommend?

Well, I'm not on 7 right now of course but I had one that told me my CPU temps, speeds, etc. Just look around. I'm sure you'll find some you like.

The weather one is the one I used the most, then RSS and twitter feeds and the CPU meter. They are almost the same as the ones that come with Vista, and the online gallery seems to work the same.

This article may be worth reading, it covers a few "must have" gadgets.

I use the CPU/system RAM gauge and a weather gadget from Weatherunderground. That's it for now; I'll probably add an RSS feed or two sson.
