I just read the sidebar wont be a feauture on Windows 7.
Its one of the few features I like about Vista.

wonder why they are dropping it?

No side bar per se but you can drag your widgets onto anywhere on the desktop. So it's still there, you're just not restricted to where you have the bar.

It's a lot nicer IMHO.

ah right cool i like my gadgets

To the people saying "Sidebar" is useless and they dont get it well i dont get that comment to be honest.

at worsed it displays stuff already accessable but its quicker to hand as shown in my pic.

how can any of that be useless ?

Well, my desktops have always been about simplicity and style. The sidebar and the gadgets it brings creates an extra level of complexity and untidyness which I simply don't need. The clock's been a standard part of Windows since practically ever for goodness sake Everything that you use it for is easily accessed elsewhere, or from my dock.

I'm not saying people shouldn't use it, just that for me there's no need

I have a Dock also.
I'm seeing two things on my screen:

usefulness
tidyness

I might use the sidebar if I could figure how to get it to pin to the desktop, using show desktop all the time means I never get to see it. Anyone know how?

Right click Sidebar > Properties > tick the box that says "
side bars is always on top of other windows"
