Vista “Widgets” on Windows XP

December 14th, 2009 | by LocalTech |

Well many people loved the feature on Windows Vista called “Widgets” but lets face it, not many people are too happy with Windows Vista. So after doing a little bit of research, I found out that Google actually had the same feature (most likely before Microsoft even came out with Vista) and it works on Windows XP!

It’s called Google Gadget which is a feature that comes with Google Desktop. So if you’re like me and haven’t gotten around to upgrading to Windows 7 yet, but would still like to have this feature on your XP, just go to the following websites and download it now!

    I have been using this trick to get Vista gadgets on Windows XP since the early days of the release of Windows Vista.
