New Met Office 'gadget'
"Pete L" wrote in message ... Has anybody tries the new gadget download as advertised on the Met Office site? Come on guinea pigs tell me if it's any good! Works fine as a detached Vista gadget, the flyout needs a 'click to activate' to use the buttons although there is no reminder. May be related to the MS/Eolas patent nonsense and will be fixed in the April 2008 IE update ( preview avbl Dec 2007 ). Tom |

You can run the Vista sidebar on XP (and hence all the various gadgets), but it's not officially supported. -- Steve Loft Sanday, Orkney. 5m ASL. http://sanday.org.uk/weather Free weather station softwa http://sandaysoft.com/ |

You won't catch me upgrading to Vista just to bloat Microsoft's pocket even more, not even for a weather gadget. Hopefully the Met Office will make a version for the many many XP users still out here; if not, their loss too. -- Dave |
