[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 101665"] 1. Apple invents 'Desktop Accessories' 2. Konfabulator copies the 'Desktop Accessories' and produces a modern, better, version 3. Apple copies Konfabulator and produces a modern, better, version Dashboard is not a clone of Konfabulator. It extends and improves upon Konfabulator in a number of ways. Most significantly Dashboard is much easier to create widgets for, with a totally different back end, but also less resource intensive (though still uses too much memory IMHO) and integrated at a lower level with the OS. Of course Konfab could not do that low level an integration, but it pays to be the King sometimes. As far as appearance goes, they look like native tools. Should Apple invent a new look? [/QUOTE]
