Wintellect - Windows SideShow .NET Framework Components 1.0 (Beta)
"Well, I'm very pleased to announce that the "Windows SideShow .NET Framework Components 1.0 (Beta)" is avialable as of today (January 18, 2007).

This is the managed API that I personally implemented for Microsoft to make it easy for managed developers to write SideShow gadget applications for Windows Vista.

I have to admit that I just didn't get Windows SideShow. I didn't see the value add or feel any draw. I thought it a little silly and weird.
Now after CES and its SideShow stuff (see Jeff's above post for a few SideShow enabled Media Center remotes) and seeing that Jeff Richter was so deeply involved in it has forced me to re-evaluate my feelings. I think I'm beginning to see the light...
Yeah, okay, it just might be officially cool. ;)
