The Vista Countdown gadget is Everywhere!

Not only has my Windows Vista Countdown gadget been shown during Bill Gates keynote address at CES, installed on over 20 thousand Sidebars and thousands of other Live.com, Spaces and third party websites, but it is also on display in the lobby of Microsoft Switzerland. Click here to add it on your own website.

LiveGadgets gadget featured at Gates' CES Keynote Address

"Featured" may be a bit of a stretch. Ok, it's a monumental stretch. LiveGadgets wasn't mentioned. In fact my gadget wasn't mentioned and "gadgets" came up only in passing. But there it was, in the upper-right hand corner on the screen, prominently displayed first on the Sidebar, during a presentation on the new digital photo features in Vista. It was my Windows Vista Countdown gadget (barely).

I'm unaware if it will be on Vista demo machines on the floor during CES or not. Maybe someone who is attending the show can let me know.

*** Update ***

Bill just can't get away from demoing my gadget! :)
