Well, I don't read the lounge and I think this topic fits this forum, right?

Right forum, being the app forum

This is good news for the developer, not sure what it means for everyone else. I had assumed konfabulator had withered on the vine for osx and I don't know how it was received for winblows.

No rather why use it if your on tiger. You already have its functionality, and dare I say a better intergrated solution with dashboard.

To be honest I'm not a huge fan of either but I'd rather use what's built in the OS then a third party solution - provided the built in was up to snuff and in this case it appears to be so.

My position doesn't seem to be in the minorty, once apple announced dashboard, that sounded the death knell of konfabulator on OSX. Some people may still use it but overall its not going to make any new market share gains on OSX
