Installing Windows 7?
Read this first. oo

Gadgets put information and fun—like news, pictures, games, and the phases of the moon—right on your desktop.

In Windows Vista, gadgets are lined up on the right side of your desktop. Windows 7 sets them free on the screen, where you can move and resize them as you like.

Drag a gadget close to the edge of the desktop—or another gadget—and watch it snap neatly into place for a streamlined look. Open windows getting in the way of your gadgets?
