windows mobile 6 1 windows mobile 6 5 development history criticism mojave experiment v t e microsoft gadgets are lightweight single purpose applications or software widgets that can sit on a microsoft windows user s computer desktop or are hosted on a web page according to microsoft it will be possible for the different types of gadgets to run on different environments without modification but this is currently not the case the gadgets and the windows desktop sidebar were a hallmark feature in windows vista and windows 7 editions of the operating system subsequently microsoft deemed them to be security vulnerabilities and discontinued developing and providing microsoft gadgets which were no longer available by the time windows 8 and 10 rolled out independent third party gadgets like rainmeter continue to be developed and provided for later versions of windows microsoft gadgets can also work on windows xp service pack 3 but it needs alky for applications types of microsoft s gadgets edit web gadgets run on a web site such as bing com or spaces sidebar gadgets run on the desktop or be docked onto run on the windows sidebar sideshow gadgets run on auxiliary external displays such as on the outside of a laptop or even on an lcd panel in a keyboard and potentially mobile phones and other devices web gadgets and live com edit web gadgets run on web sites such as live com and windows live spaces live com lets users add rss feeds in order to view news at a glance building off microsoft s start com experimental page live com can be customized with web gadgets mini applications that can serve almost any purpose e g mail readers weather reports slide shows search games etc some gadgets integrate with other windows live services including mail search and favorites users can create multiple site tabs and customize each with different feeds gadgets layouts and color schemes desktop gadgets edit main article windows desktop gadgets adding desktop gadgets desktop gadgets are desktop widgets small specialized applications that are generally designed to do simple tasks such as clocks calendars rss notifiers or search tools they can also be used to control external applications such as windows media center a panel or sidebar is found on either the right side default or the left side of the windows desktop in the windows vista operating system gadgets can be placed on this sidebar and they are automatically aligned on it gadgets can also be placed elsewhere on the screen which generally causes them to expand and display more information in windows 7 the sidebar is removed although gadgets can somewhat similarly be aligned on any side of the screen gadgets are toggled between the two sizes via a button in windows 7 device gadgets and windows sideshow edit windows sideshow is a new technology that lets windows vista drive small auxiliary displays of various form factors offering bite size pieces of information these include displays embedded on the outside of a laptop lid or on a detachable device enabling access to information and media even when the main system is in a standby mode data can also be displayed on cell phones and other network connected devices via bluetooth and other connectivity options the display can be updated with a number of different kinds of information such as contacts maps calendar and email this can then be consulted while the mobile pc is otherwise powered down since the underlying platform is so power efficient it can run for hundreds of hours without draining a notebook battery while still providing always on access to data and multimedia content sideshow is coupled to the windows vista sidebar capability that is sidebar gadgets are easily ported to be compatible with sideshow secondary display applications however hardware and silicon providers can also provide native capabilities to allow for richer multimedia applications such as text image audio and video decode playback for example a notebook with an in lid display could be used as an mp3 player while powered down with the notebook battery providing hundreds of hours of playback time because of the low power footprint that the sideshow platform maintains discontinuation and revival edit according to microsoft gadgets were discontinued because they have serious vulnerabilities could be exploited to harm your computer access your computer s files show you objectionable content or change their behavior at any time and an attacker could even use a gadget to take complete control of
