[Adam Kinney] Apple’s Tiger preview has a new feature called Dashboard which will add some new power to the desktop.  Dashboard hosts mini-apps called widgets, which appear to be mostly simple applications like calculators, calendars and notepads.

[Jeremy Keith] My first reaction to Dashboard was that it sounds like XAML: Web Apps that sit on the desktop.

Some good material on Dashboard. While dashboard is total ‘eye-candy’, why is the first thing that comes to mind when I see it is a 2004 version of Active Desktop?
