G'day cobber,
No, unfortunately Vista - while it has made some improvemenst in
Internationalisation - continues the American cultural domination of the
English-speaking world. Now we have compulsory "Personalize", "Backup
Center", Network Center" and "Security Center" alongside old clangers like
"Colors". The news gadget is not configurable, through the user Interface
(you could always try manually editing the files under "C:\Program
Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\RSSFeeds.Gadget" - they're all XML and HTML).
But if you go to the Windows Live Gallery:
http://gallery.live.com/results.aspx?bt=1&pl=1
.... you'll fine gadgeats for Aus Bureau of Meterology; Cricket scores;
Sydney Morning Herald and Age most popular articles; ABC Radio broadcast;
and some others as well. There's also BBC News which, while not Australian,
is relatively "normal" compared to the American feeds.
Hope it helps
Andrew
