Vista Gadget
Hi, Thought it would be a useful feature to have a gadget for vista display bar to display the spec's (Fan speed,temp,HDD...) of NV+
So kinda like the yahoo widget.
Anyone like the idea?

- getz76AspirantI do.
- mlubbyAspirantsame here. I downloaded the Yahoo gadgets to my XP machine and promptly started to get BSOD and yahoo widgets did not work well. My Vista machine would like to have the gadget from Infrant.
- Sunday_Afterno1Aspirant+1 here! a vista gadget would be really cool.
Sun pm - athomsonAspirantI would like to see a Vista gadget too.

John - DGeorgeAspirantIts a great idea BUT think about it. There would be a lot of data being exchanged to carry this out which would have an impact on the NAS itself. Even if its just small amounts of data every 10 seconds its still additional load on a system. Realtime isn't what I believe these systems were designed for. And of course the scheduling would have to be done from the plugin as Linux works in one minute updates for teh likes of cron at etc.

Isn't that true for yahoo and Mac widgets too?
My vote is FOR a vista gadget. - reelmccoyAspirantMight as well add another name to the list. I'd love to see something like the Yahoo thingy so I can keep tabs on two NVs (NV/NV+).

John. - getz76AspirantI will also reiterate my desire for a Vista gadget. This would be useful for me personally. Considering the rather large installation base of Vista, it makes sense. Love it or hate it, there have been about 100 million copies sold so far. After the holiday, I imagine the number will be much, much bigger.
I know the team has bigger fish to fry (firmware 4) right now, but can any of the Jedi counsel give an idea if this project would be supported by management?
Cheers.
