They're either useful, informative, or just random, but these are five gadgets for Vista or Windows 7 that I like. I've got versions of them all available for download directly from this page, but for the most up to date versions click on the author name.

Drive Info by unknown author

I know this isn't the best drive info gadget out there, it's fairly simple compared to others i've tried but I like it the best. I'm not even sure who it's by anymore so if you've got info leave a comment and let me know!

Twadget by Rod Begbie

Twadget requires a Twitter account, which is free to sign up for. Twadget will list the most recent updates from you and your friends on Twitter, and allows you to post new status updates directly from the gadget. It also plays a sound when new updates are recieved which can be enabled or disabled. If you don't like the appearance try this Twadget Skin.
