Widgets for Windows and Pre-Tiger OS X

By now, if you have been keeping yourself updated with the latest craze and technologies, you wouldn't have missed the latest craze on the Mac OS X's Tiger (see my last few blog entries) and it's features.

Apart from the Spotlight technology and the many other interesting add-on's in Tiger, there's this new thing called the "Dashboard" which is some desktop application which can host mini applications called widgets.


Widgets in OS X

The only problem is that you will have to own a Mac with OS X Tiger installed; which brings about a problem... what about those running Windows (which holds 86% of the market) or older versions of OS X?

The solution? Konfabulator!

Konfabulator works for both older versions of OS X and the infamous Windows operating system. As Konfabulator was developed a number of years before Tiger's Dashboard, expect to see LOADS more widgets compared to Dashboard.

The only drawback? This application is shareware, so you'll probably have to fork out USD25 or approximately RM95 to remove the nagging message boxes reminding you that its a shareware and that the company needs support and bla bla bla... but hey! If you don't mind the nag, the software's pretty much free. If you can't stand the nagging, get it registered, it's way cheaper than a brand spanking new copy of OS X Tiger @ the retail price of RM499!

Just imagine, a day with all these cool widgets on your Windows or Mac OS (pre-Tiger) desktop.
