Google Desktop Panels become Google Gadgets

In: Technology

10 May 2006
Surprise surprise that's what I got when I visited the Google Desktop site to search for new and interesting panels for my Google Desktop Sidebar.

Google has renamed their panels to a new name Google Gadgets, why a surprise well if you have heard of Vista operating system based component sidebar you may know that they use term gadgets for components that you can dock into the sidebar.

 
Though I am surprised at seeing Google following Microsoft for the first time as its always been vice versa, I am not concerned with the products and am always happy with the performance of the Google Desktop Search over that of Microsoft. I'll leave it at this and let you decide what's better, i am open to criticisms at my comment box always.
 
P.S Coming up soon another must have tools but this time for Google, IE and firefox plugin.
