[Shawn Morrissey] It’s pretty cool to see Betanews refer to one of the projects I’m working on as ‚ÄúVista’s most prominent new feature" - the Windows Sidebar. While we didn’t include the Sidebar into the December CTP release, it is also true that the Sidebar schedule is on track, lots of cool work is being done by multiple teams, and we‚Äôre doing everything we can to make sure you get a taste of it in the next Windows Vista CTP (without having to wait until beta 2).

I thought I would cross-link over to Shawn’s blog to give a quick status on the Windows Sidebar. We’ve been super-busy making sure that it’ll be in the next CTP.
