If you haven't seen it already, Microsoft has cleaned house in regards to its online desktop gadgets library.

The company originally launched this feature with the release of Windows Vista, and, for a long time, the library Microsoft built over the years was huge thanks to internal developers and third parties. Now they're all mostly gone save for 29 of what the company seemingly considers "Greatest Hits." Even the Xbox Live Avatar widget is gone, replaced with the Avatar360 clock.

"Because we want to focus on the exciting possibilities of the newest version of Windows, Microsoft no longer supports uploading new gadgets. But that doesn't mean you can't still get gadgets. The most po[CENSORED]r and highest-rated gadgets are still available on this page," the gadget page officially reads towards the bottom.
