one that fits within the taskbar?
like this? [analog-clock.excode-software.qarchive.org] this seems to be a better site [www.analogclock.info] Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 03/07/2009 11:50AM by daniel. |

Thanks Daniel,
I've tried that one but the clock gets all squashed in the taskbar. I have my task bar vertical on the right side of the screen and in order for it to display properly, the task bar has to be way too wide This may just be one of those things that will only work under Vista in a widget... |

Nothing inherently wrong with the digital clock other than having to hover on it to get the day/date info. But I'm a watch guy and love the analog dial with moving hands. I have a wonderful desk top clock that is a true representation of a classic mechanical dive watch with the smooth sweeping seconds hand...but I have to close my windows to check it Is Windows 7 a must pay for service pack to Vista? I'm not sure Vista can be fixed |

well i know that if you have the taskbar horizontally in xp and have it two rows tall, the date pops up (im sure you know that though). I have been running windows 7 pre-beta and beta for the last few months and am thoroughly satisfied after having to use vista for a year beforehand. The changes they made are significant, intuitive, and useful. Of course, depending on what you are doing exactly on your computer will affect how many of these changes actually matter, but still. Even with the beta and pre-beta, the stability of the OS has exceeded my expectations, especially when compared to vista or even XP. |

Sounds like maybe MS has produced another good system like NT was. To me, Vista is pretty much like ME was to Win 98...a dead loss When is Win 7 due for release? Do you have to be on one of MS's programs to get Beta 7? |

Daniel,
Thanks for the offer but I'll wait for MS to get out at least service pack 1 before I dive in. It does look like MS has responded to the almost complete failure of Vista to dominate. I wonder how many corporate customers were lost to Apple and Linux? Anyway, it's good to know that Vista will soon be behind us |
