Version: Yahoo Widgets 4
"Much better and more improved!"
Pros: Here's what I liked:
1. The dock. I always wondered when this feature would be included. It's about time they put it in and it was well worth the wait
2. Memory usage. The RAM usage in this version is about 1/5 of what it was in the previous version so I can have more widgets open and not have a drastic performance decrease
3. The interface is very nice and vista like. I'm not running vista yet but with this program, I don't see much reason to!
Cons: The only complaint I have is that when you first install the program bombards you with an annoying and pretty much pointless tutorial (unless you're new to the program) I wish there was an option to disable that but other than that it's a flawless program.

Version: Yahoo Widgets 4
"If 3.1.4 works for you, skip this one."
Pros: The new dock looks like it might be useful. Didn't get to play with it much because...
Cons: ... Yeehaw widgets is broken again. If you upgrade to version 4, it upgrades many widgets along with it. That means if you have to revert back to 3.1.4, some widgets might not work because they require version 4. Also, opacity settings become inconsistent, and adjusting settings seem to have no effect at all.
Steer clear.

"Doesn't Work Right In Vista...Yet"
Pros: Good product, just wish they had tested it on all OSs before they released it.
Cons: Widgets don't start up when computer starts up. I have Vista Home Premium and must manually start my Widgets after my computer starts up.
