    Useless

    Do us all a favor and test your widget before adding to the directory. No support for Apple forced me to my PC only to discover it won't work on Vista either. Worse is that I wasted time downloading your equally useless .exe file.

    While I'm at it - shame on Yahoo for not policing this directory better. Crap like this should be removed. If I was the developer I'd be begging them to remove it.

    Want to redeem yourself? Create a .kon version of Leopard's "Web Clip" for Safari that can be ported to multiple platforms. You could charge for that - maybe.

    Don't install this crap. Had to modify registry to get rid of it. (contrary to claim it can be removed via Add/Remove Programs). Nothing but an attempt to extort money from users. BAD NEWS - KEEP AWAY. After purging registry I found it was tied to a translation widget.

    Yes, SirSmiley - you are right.
    This widget by design has nothing more than IE wrap (with some cool additions) it shows only a strange way (or technology) how to do something more with widgets than YAC/MM (Yet Another CPU/Memory Meter) or XYZ Countdown.
    In widget's world everything has to be for free - I also see no point for SAP's interest in widgets ( https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4799 )
    Enjoy

    Correct me if I'm wrong but, all you've done is essentially just wrap an IE control and in effect added an additional unnecessary layer, etc. Oh, and yeah at some point it looks like you think you can charge for it?

Get It!
