Interesting, this is the second time this week that I have heard about a Windows Sidebar gadget that talks to the Build Store in Team Foundation Server to display the status of builds. I won’t let you know the first because I heard of it first hand and I have noticed that the author hasn’t posted about it on his blog yet.

Both too quite different approaches, Paul embedded with an XBAP which means he can do some fairly meaty things, and the other used 100% pure JavaScript which means that it doesn’t need Team Explorer installed (although it probably still requires a CAL).

Good work Paul!
