Mock OS X: Five ways to make your PC more like a Mac

By Rich Trenholm on 26 November 2007, 9:52am

Mac feature: Dashboard
Windows version: Konfabulator
If Exposé lives in your Mac's top left corner, you've got another three corners for activating the dashboard. This is a layer that pops up over your desktop and holds all your widgets. Small devices for keeping your ale fizzy? No, they're mini-applications that track particular information, such as the time, the weather, your email or whatever you want.

PC users will know them as gadgets. Or widgets. To get gadgets -- or widgets -- going on Windows, simply download Konfabulator. Or is it called Yahoo! Widgets this week?

Konfabulator adds another pop-out dock to your screen, or gives you the option of a Mac-style dashboard layer called heads-up. Then you can add widgets to keep you updated on whatever information you want to display.
