I’m hoping that the fact they have released IE7 and the new Windows Media Player for other operating system than Vista, its a sign of things to come. Anyone with any sense will wait to get Vista, everytime MS releases a new OS it has big problems and floors in it, remember the 1st Version of XP? It had so many problems they had to release SP1 very quickly to fix them all! Thats why I now wait for the 1st major update to be done before I upgrade to a new OS.

I don’t expect that Vista will take off so quickly for an exclusionary business case to make sense…unless the gadget is simply something created “for fun.”

Doesn’t have to be Vista either; I’ve had them running on XP for quite a while now.

Just to clarify “gadgets” are what Microsoft is calling “widgets” in VISTA. These Yahoo widgets run on Mac and Windows.

This widget was developed by Mortgagebot LLC which they have developed for several other banks (http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/index.php?author=12758)
