None, sidebar is pointless. Never used it in Vista either.
On another note, if you got a widescreen monitor, put the taskbar down the side.
Hmm, I only just noticed, my RC1 on the laptop has one but the release version on the Pc does not... :shrug:
I kinda like it to monitor CPU usage etc.
If I can find it on the desktop I'll tell you.
edit: it's actually in the start menu, but they translated it to german, it's called "Minianwendungsgalerie" - "mini program galery", maybe that helps?
There are gadgets you can download from Microsoft -not sure about any 3rd party ones. I never used Vista and dislike random crap on my desktop, much less obscuring my view of other windows so I'm not really one to recommend any gadgets.
I do quite like how you can manipulate windows now, although itunes doesn't seem to play-ball when pushing 2 windows side-by side.
