Microsoft Gadgets

This has to be fake…there is no way Microsoft could be this crazy.

Have you ever wondered how new technologies get developed in Microsoft? Wonder how a cool idea goes from incubation to release? Well, we?re excited to announce that we?ve started a blog designed to bring you closer to the process with the Gadgets blog and we?re kicking it off at the PDC.

What are Gadgets? Gadgets are a new category of mini-application designed to provide information, useful lookup, or enhance an application or service on your Windows PC or the Web. Examples might include a weather gadget running on your desktop or on your homepage, an RSS Gadget that pulls in your favorite feeds, or an extension of a business application providing just-in-time status on the pulse of your business.

When they want a technology…they just go for it.
