Windows Gadgets are insecure and vulnerable to attack. Microsoft could not be bothered to fix the issue and recommended users disable the feature (or suffere the potential catastrophes at their own risk), so you will not find many Gadgets outside of the first run, even from 3rd (good developers don't program for bad features).
Also, Yahoo (has always before anyway) reserves the use of clients and forwarding for it's premium mail users (your Gadget would basically be a mail client, only sending alerts.... it would still be trying to log on from outside yahoo servers which is not allowed, except for a fee)

For Windows 7, What's difference between Desktop Gadgets and SideShow Gadgets?
Jon F
I've added some gadgets like Pandora and Weather, but I'm not sure if they are Desktop Gadgets or SideShow Gadgets. I was looking at adding some other "gadgets", but I'm not sure the difference between the 2. Any insight? Thanks!

Windows Desktop Gadgets are a sort of mini-applications which are based on CSS, Script and HTML. These Gadgets are used to display information like CPU, RAM usage, system properties, RSS feeds or to launch and control applications. You can also use gadgets to display a picture slide show or view continuously updated headlines.
A Windows SideShow Gadget is one written by programming against the Windows SideShow Platform API.
