IIRC Micorsoft first came up with the idea to name a context-sensitive bar on the right side of Longhorn "Dashboard". The OpenSource community immediately picked the idea up. However, the entire idea is quite old and was already available in the form of interactive Docks in several OS distributions for years and years.

Everyone go read Dashboard vs. Konfabulator over at daringfireball.net - If this can't put an end to the 'stealing,' I don't know how much good evidence someone will have to put on paper to stop all this noise... Also - If anyone has their hands on the Dashboard developer kit, I would love a copy  I can't actually test gadgets until I get tiger, but because the gadgets are just web pages, I can test in safari!

And keep an eye on http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/hyatt/ Hyatt posted again on where he got the idea from... Surprise! It's not Konfabulator.

I just start using Konfabulator but have to agree, if I didn't hear of Dashboard, then I never would have tried Konfabulator. I can't wait for Apple to roll out their gadgets. Plus then any developers will be able to write for the entire Tiget installed base, not just those that purchased Konfabulator

i just read the first page and wanted to respond, yes Apple did rip off the idea of Konfabulator, i'll admit, and Konfabulator is a rip-off active desktop. But anyways lets digress....Steve Jobs saw people developing widgets and well he want to mass market them, to everyone even to people who dont know what konfabulator is (heck i didnt know what it was till this post), he even said at the end of WWDC2004 that Dashboard is made with widgets (no duh!) but u could develop them with scripts...he is just letting programmers have fun.

I did, after i posted. I still got the same feelings but the creator of Konfabulator should be proud that his app insipired Dashboard, i'm not a big fan of it, cause theres no way to remove them without closing the widgets
