Overview IMG New Media wanted to develop an easy-to-use mini-program - managed using the Windows Sidebar - that would provide information at a glance and easy access to frequently used tools. IMG New Media used Windows Vista to develop new ways of delivering media through the Windows Sidebar, Gadgets for Windows Sidebar, and RSS feeds. The solution was easy to roll out compared with other third-party systems because they are sandboxed. Furthermore Developers can create mini-applications due to the simplicity of HTML format.
