"I LIKE IT !"
Version: CNET TV Widget
Pros
Keeps you up to date on the new tech stuff when you like it. Shut it off when you don't
Cons
Needs More Channels
Summary
I have a Bank of over 5000 the coolest free Yahoo Widgets at my Finger Tips. Clean from bugs from Yahoo's Website and Widgets are Small Little things that don't Hog Up your Memory. ALSO THE YAHOO TOOL BAR IS OPTIONAL ! ! ! You can Keep Your Search Bars the same ! Yahoo Widget bar is only a small drain on my sys, If it did slow a application down you can close it . I'm always checking for spy, strings, vir... and have not found any. For what it Does, It Does What it Says.,

"I'm so disappointed..."
Version: CNET TV Widget
Pros
Like others here I don't really have any pros.
Cons
I tried to download Cnet Tv and it wouldn't work.
Summary
I tried to download Cnet TV Widget a few times. And was so disappointed when it didn't download properly. The computer tried to open it using Adobe Reader and obviously it didn't work. So no Cnet TV for me :*-( well on my desktop that is. Well I don't know if I did something wrong but that's my story.

I Don't Think So!
Not Gonna' Do It . . .

"Sidebar on every Vista machine and you chose Yahoo?"
Version: CNET TV Widget
Pros
I imagine it's fine for the 125 people still using Yahoo.
Cons
Since Vista Sidebar ships on nearly every new machine and Windows 7 will use the same gadgets, why not make this a sidebar gadget? Even better, why not just make a stand-alone application that displays the video feed?
Summary
Basically, I think a stand-alone CNet application would have been a better idea than tying it to Yahoo, which by most accounts is a quickly sinking ship.

"It wouldn't download on my machine"
Version: CNET TV Widget
Pros
There are no Pros if you can't get it to download only Cons!
Cons
After trying a couple of times to download I gave up! I guess it just wasn't to be for some reason.
Summary
Bottom line if I had the time I'd try it one more time but I don't right now.

"Widget requiering Yahoo aplication. Not for me!"
Version: CNET TV Widget
Pros
Good quality - FPS
Cons
Need Yahoo Widget .. you don not have control overt it...what's up with that! CNET have a lots of IQ team that are able to have somthing better than that and is no link with other application unless you like to Hog you PC
Summary
If you use Yahoo Widget , the this is nice to have even you don not have control overt it.
