Dashboard is an application that resides at the side of your screen, similar to the "Sidebar" component shown in the Longhorn video. It is a host for interchangeable components.

    Just to clear some things up: The name is original. It was decided on before Apple or Microsoft had used it. The app was even around before Longhorn's sidebar.

    Overall, this is the best sidebar program out for my needs.

    I think that dashboard has made some good improvements since the last beta. It has a few bugs, but a lot of the ones from the old version was patched. Great choice again fileforum.com! :)

    A good program heading in the right direction.

    Actually, in the US, a 'dashboard' is the place in our cars that has all of the controls and monitors. Has been for nearly 100 years...

    Lot of potential, but also quite a few bugs.

    All the components need to actually function. Then the whole things needs to use less resources.

    If the development team has the time to put into this, it could be really good.

    Right now, Desktop Sidebar is far superior.

    I would like to sh-t on blackcherry's comment relating to Dashboard Confessional.

    I do not see how that band relates to computer software at all. Dashboard, the name, is from, yes, Apple's Dashboard and Microsoft's Dashboard.

    Of couse the name is not original.
