"Great program, simplistic design, resource hog"
Pros: This is one of the programs, that once you try it, you wonder how you ever lived without it to begin with. I love having my entire computer, my emails, browsing history and pretty much anything you could imagine avaible from a small search bar on your desktop. The accompaning gadgets generally fall into three categories. 1.)Neat but will never use 2.) Absolutely Worhtless 3.) And very handy. I'll admit that they don't look as nice as the Vista equivalents or the Yahoo widgets, but they are clean and crisp and simple.
Cons: This does take it's share of memory. If I was running an older computer or even a laptop, I'd probally disable most (if not all) the gadgets and use the search feature only.
