Appears to work

Widgets are of little value

"Good widget engine"
Version: Yahoo! Widget Engine 4.5.2
Pros
Been using this widget engine for years on windows and MAC.
works well on both platforms.Cons
Kind of redundant on light of built in widget engines. But I like some of the Yahoo widgets better than MAC and certainly Windows implementations, but in some ways the OS widgets are better than Yahoo.
Summary
Good to better than OK widget engine. Excels in some respects, does not in others. Overall very good.

"Since I come from the Windows world, I love it!"
Version: Yahoo! Widget Engine 4.5.2
Pros
It functions just like the Windows version. Having only been a recent convert to Mac, I'm not fond of the dashboard, only because I am used to having my widgets and windows gadgets directly on screen, not having to hit something to make it come up.
Cons
If you're a die-hard Mac user who's never used Windows much, you may not like this...

"It's good but can be pushy!"
Version: Yahoo! Widget Engine 4.5.2
Pros
It serves an important function. I hate having outdated software.
Cons
I will come on every time you log into you computer unless you set it otherwise. Especially if there is updates you opt not to down load.
Summary
It's good and the price is right.
