Yahoo Gives Vista A Search Gadget

Yahoo Desktop Products team has made available the Yahoo Search Gadget for Windows Vista. Yahoo currently has this as the only Vista product. Users can operate the Search Gadget on the Windows Vista sidebar going around the need to open a different browser. Consumers can get into web search, yahoo answers, local, and video from the gadget.

Yahoo Desktop Products team member Jonathan Strauss thinks yahoo search will remain one of Yahoo’s most popular services and adding the Window’s Vista sidebar gadget will only improve it.

“We designed the Yahoo! Search gadget to feel at home in Vista’s new visually rich environment with animations and four shiny colors to choose from.”

Some Yahoo search bloggers seemed impressed with the appearance, while others conveyed concerns that this service currently remains restricted to the United States. Blogger Simonne Matthew comments on the obstacle facing Vista working with other operating systems.

“This is the first desktop toy designed for Vista that I discovered. Yet, I’m not going to try it: I uninstalled Windows Vista one hour after installing it, because I could not find any antivirus to run with it. My digital camera’s software did not work either, nor did my TV tuner’s software.”

Matthew refused to buy new devices for a new operating system.
