Gadgets have been discontinued - Microsoft Windows

Gadgets went bye bye. They are too exploitable. Apps are in. Load up your Start with useful LIve Tiles.

The problem with live tiles is that they are not exactly live - you can;t have a tile showing real-time network activity like a gadget does. Also they are a click/button press away from the desktop(why we can't place tiles on desktop is beyond me).

Then again, we really can't do anything about it except maybe sticking to Win7.
