Agreed. I found this program about a month ago and love it. I always have the latest Penny Arcade and Dilbert delivered to the slideshow panel, and several RSS feeds cycled through the "newsroom" panel. It even shows you clips when you hover over the headline.

In addition I use the cool Outlook integration, media player control, and the very extensible search/run box.

But there are something like 150+ panels available, so I'm sure there are other cool things it can do as well.

Also agreed.

I realized just the other day that I'll be majorly disappointed if the Longhorn sidebar can't do what this one can...

DS came out a lot time before than longhorn was even announced (not talking about longhorn sidebar, but longhorn itself :P)

It’s great that you like it :)

Actually I started work on DS even before longhorn sidebar was announced but of course nobody is going to believe me now :(

I was inspired by Office XP task panes.

First version was published on internet in January 2003

Wow, this program is so cool that even the developer isn't above posting his appreciation here. I have been using Desktop Sidebar for quite awhile. I have the WINHEC Longhorn Build 4074 and their sidebar is practically nonexistent. I've posted screenshots of my Longhorn with Desktop Sidebar many times at various websites/forums.It's terrific.
