On my laptop, some of the gadgets were already on the right side of the desktop, and there was an option to view all of them. I turned most of them off, though.

you can also click something like add more gadgets and go online and download more. theres some pretty cool ones out there to check out. I stopped using the sidebar though because it started showing through everyonce and a while when i was playing oblivion. im sure that was fixed with some patches and new drivers but i still dont use it.

In the Vista beta, they already had some gadgets on the right side of the screen.
