So, why would I use Dashboard over Konfabulator? Anyone? People say they serve different purposes, but I don't see it.

I'm quite shocked that there's only 93 days left.

Dashboard is hard-coded into the operating system and offers tighter program integrations. Plus it does that cool appear/disappear effect.

Anyway, this widget seems like a good way to waste about 20MB of ram.

Agreed, and the Konfabulator widget looks better, and is usable for both Mac and Windows users.

Well, if you have Mac OS X 10.4, I doubt you'd be asking that question, since at that point you have to be running Dashboard.

If you have Windows, Konfabulator's okay, but I've found that it absolutely rapes my system resources over time. Dashboard doesn't, but each instance of each widget takes up an inordinate amount of RAM (I think there's a separate WebObject renderer thrown into memory for each one--a complete waste of space).

So if you don't have more than 512 ram on your Mac, running Dashboard widgets is suicide. However, they're more usable and faster/slicker and tied to the OS. So if you've got the power, they're superior.

I have 10.3, and 768 MB Ram.

So it's not the memory, it's the price of upgrading. I think I'll wait some more.
