Vista Sidebar

| | Comments (4)

We all know that Microsoft has ripped off most of it's features from OS X... Enough about that... But there is one feature, I cannot help remembering Microsoft sporting even in Win95... The sidebar.

Is it just me or does the Windows Vista sidebar - which MS calls it's blatant Dashboard-ripoff - that contains the amazing Widgets... err... Gadgets remind an aweful lot of the totally useless “Channels” that were in Windows 95?

And my guess, personally, is that MS is going to bloat the sidebar untill no user will ever want to have it running - or even better - make it so unstable, that sidebar=BSOD.. :P

You really love the term “BSOD”, don’t you?

Go ahead. Admit it!

I like the term better than the phenomenon itself, at least…

Any relations to Pablo Bartholomew, by the way..?

Nope, I just figured three names weren’t quite enough. :P

Very true, indeed.. Four names rule!
