The Amnesty Generator for Windows is designed to easily convert any embeddable web site widget (including Google Gadgets) into a Vista Sidebar Gadget. Compared to Vista's Gadget library's relatively meager 275 gadgets, Google Gadgets for your web page, for example, currently sports over 3000 widgets. So basically, Vista's gadget library just grew from 275 to 275 plus 3000 plus whatever other web widgets you can find on the Internet. If this sounds familiar to OS X users, it is because Amnesty Generator is also available for Dashboard. The generator currently has a few bugs (particularly in the visual interface department), but overall it works fairly well.
