Software developer Stardock has unveiled its first-wave Windows Vista plans for its desktop enhancement suite, Object Desktop. Amongst the Vista-specific software it is working on is a Windows Sidebar gadget creation extention for DesktopX (which will support WPF/.NET creations too) and a Windows Vista specific version of WindowBlinds.

That's only partially true. The Desk Accesories on the old Macs served a different purpose than widgets do today: in the old days, they were supposed to give the MacOS the illusion of multitasking-- they were not applications or whatever, they were in fact drivers.
So, the end result may have been the same, but the purpose and method are completely different.
