Microsoft Reportedly Ending Support for Desktop Gadgets in Windows 8
Last October, the writing seemed to be on the wall for Windows desktop gadgets when Microsoft brought the curtain down on Windows Live Gallery in order to “focus on the exciting possibilities of the newest version of Windows.†But even though Microsoft no longer supports the development and uploading of these HTML-based desktop widgets, they are supported in both Windows 8 Consumer and Release Preview builds. Does this mean Microsoft has decided to keep them alive?
Well, according to Chinese site Win8china, there is no trace of desktop gadgets in the latest internal build of Windows 8. While this is still an unconfirmed rumor, there is every chance of it being true, especially considering the fact that the appeal of these desktop widgets, first introduced in Vista, has always been very limited. Now with Metro-style apps perfectly capable of providing similar functionality using only HTML5 and CSS3, there really isn’t a strong case for keeping gadgets alive.
