Version: AOL Mail and AIM Vista Sidebar Gadget 1
"Probably works fine, but has no connection settings controls."
Cons: In my corporate environment, all chat clients are routed through a proxy. With the traditional client and even most 3rd party clients, this isn't an issue. Sadly, the AIM gadget doesn't even allow access to its options until after the client logs in. Bad design, which will hopefully get corrected in later releases.

Version: AOL Mail and AIM Vista Sidebar Gadget 1
Pros: Lets you hide your buddy list until you want to use it. Updates you on your AOL email inbox status. It basically does what it says it does.
Cons: Having AIM sit on a Vista desktop along with gadgets is UGLY. AOL missed the mark by not making a gadget that docks your buddy list as well. If you're looking for something akin to the Windows Live Messenger gadgets out there, this is NOT it.
