As you may expect it, I installed Konfabulator today. Though the installation process it smooth, the look is great, and the working experience is very interesting, I must admit seeing this in my Task Manager is somewhat of a turn down:

One process per widget, and an extra one for the tray icon and menu... is it worst it? Though CPU usage seems reasonable (compared with Desktop Sidebar for example), and the sum of memory usage averages what Outlook is using by itself, I'm left with the impression that this Windows version was made out of a hack, and no real "Windows integration" effort was made. On a developer's machine, I'm doomed to miss that memory one day.

Seeing that UnixUtils folder under Konfabulator also gives me similar impressions:

Oh well, I'll give it a real try... but I'm afraid it will end up just like Desktop Sidebar... uninstalled!
