"There's no easy way way to convert a Yahoo widget into a Vista gadget because Yahoo widgets don't use HTML (they use a proprietary XML format). You could conceivable do this brute force by looking the the Yahoo widget's source code and rewriting it for Vista, using the same image resources, but that is probably a difficult task.
There is a way to automatically convert Google web gadgets into Vista gadgets (using Amnesty Generator) so if you can find a gadget that is similar to the Yahoo widget you want, that may be an option for you.
