Fact is : the Web seems to go for extended ubiquitous granularity, means we're going to deal with infos and data coming from everywhere. Hence widgets will be one of the most useful way to display those data, because it's light, quick, and easy. @Kari : you may still want to play a little bit with desktop widgets – not the 20st Century or Big Ben type of watches but the ones you can create by yourself with Safari 3.

Vince: I've not checked out the Google-cross-platform thingies. As I said above, I don't believe in (wi/ga)dgets. I'm afraid that while Google's solution might be somewhat cross-platform, it will also be a bit mild. The motivation behind this post was to be just a response to Jeremy's Vista gadget development. If I remember correctly, Dashcode had already been announced and I instantly got the idea to do this post as soon as it was released. Well, that took a while.

It seems to me to be more efficient to focus on developing for a platform that has a broader scope. Kari, have you checked out the new Google-widgets that are supposed to work with Dashboard?
