Windows Vista sidebar makes a comeback
ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft's on-again, off-again Windows Sidebar feature, a prominent new interface element that could make it into the Windows Vista desktop, is definitely on again. The Sidebar user interface element got a big boost this week when Microsoft vowed at the Professional Developers Conference 2005 in Los Angeles that it would debut for testers in an upcoming Vista Community Technology Preview.
In most demonstrations so far, Microsoft has presented the Sidebar as a column along the right-hand border of the screen that is wider than the Taskbar.
