Why isn't my CRM system AJAX? Why doesn't it have a mashup with google maps with directions? I talk about this issue a little more in my blog as well.

I too love them, but I am nearing widget overkill. On my screen I can fit 10-12 widgets at a time. But there are 20-30 that I would like to keep. I don't think that Mac does a good job of toggling widgets (maybe it needs the concept of pages), so it means that a whole bunch of useful widgets don't get used. This is a problem that will only get worse not better, unless resolved by apple/yahoo/etc. I get what you mean abotu the benefits of widgets. I too love them, but I am nearing widget overkill.
