Sidebar
The Sidebar allows you to run some gadget applications on one side of the desktop. There is a clock, a slide show and an RSS feed tool.
The sidebar needs about 15 MB RAM with only the standard gadgets. After adding weather, currency and the CPU meter sidebar, it consumes 23 MB RAM and we're sure that it can reach even higher.
The RSS feeds reader on the desktop is a bit confusing to configure, as it pulls feeds out of IE7. This means that you have to run Internet Explorer if you want the Side Bar and different RSS feeds - even if you prefer a different browser. If you press the "Show Desktop" button, the sidebar is minimized.
