to all of you who are complaining that dashboard is included here, I'd remind you that the question is not whether you have dashboard (because then your right, everyone would have to vote for it) but whether you USE it. So actually, blu tooth file exchange should be on here as well I guess.

I used to be a big user of Dashboard and had it bound to an expose corner and packed with cool widgets. iCal events, google search, iClip lite, cyberduck upload, terminal, notes launcher, To Do Tracker, System Stats, trash monitor, and some custom hacks among other things. All were individually quite nice and useful, but put together they bogged down my whole system. I started with a shell script to restart the dock and thus kill dashboard; I would run this whenever Dashboard was lagging up my system. Eventually I wound up just disabling it completely via the widgets preference pane.

I haven't really missed it. Dashboard did little to actually help my productivity, as most of the stuff I was doing in widgets could be done in regular applications. However, the cool factor will always be appealing.

You could just as well had entered "OS X", itself, for this entry. Or maybe skipped it alltogether? :)

Mis-direction with regards to licence, it's like saying "bluetooth file exchange" these are intergrated in to OS X unlike the ilife packages. Dashboard is intergrated in the OS.

It's still not shareware though. OS X is Commercial software. Anyway, "widgets" should probably be added as a tag.

Dashboard comes with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4). And it will come with Leopard (10.5) too.
It is not sold separetely. You pay for THE WHOLE operating system. (Not just for the application.)
