    What happened to the egg timer gadget that was in Beta 2?
    I can't find it anywhere in RC1.
    Where can I get it, without having to install Beta 2 again?

    Re: Gadgets

    So we're to assume that Vista won't be so ultimate afterall?
    What if the final release sometime next year is no more sophisticated than
    Windows 3.1?
    One of the few upsides of Windows 3.1 is that it installs into a RAMDRIVE in
    less than 10 seconds!
    Microsoft used C/C++ to code operating systems back then. :-)

    Re: Gadgets

    I asked a friend to go get the egg-timer from his BETA 2. I really liked
    that gadget alot - its exactly what i need while making dinner etc.
    But unfortunatly it dosnt work that well with RC1 - see for yourself:
    www.dnup.dk/Timer.Gadget.zip (at my domain)
    You'll have to unzip the folder and place it in C:\Program Files\Windows
    Sidebar\Gadgets
    If you know how to fix this i would be happy - it seems like its open
    source-code

    I expect that many of the gadgets we cut from Vista will return as downloads
    on http://gallery.microsoft.com. I don't know if the egg timer is one of
    them, but keep your eyes open in case it is.

    Re: Gadgets

    I kind of liked the egg timer gadget with the exception of I would like to
    put in the exact time to set it to instead of turning the dial and not being
    as accurate. I also didn't particularly care for the old Windows 'tada'
    sound either. It should ring, ding, or something instead, but then again
    that's just my opinion and Microsoft probably won't see this anyway as they
    don't look through these groups much.
