This is kind of useless for me. I always have my windows maximized, so it's faster to ctrl-T and type something in the bing bar.
Still cool though for people who have their windows not maximized

Works well with Vista as a floating gadget. Docks alright too. Almost unbstrusive "looking" on the sidebar if it's the very top or bottom gadget. Really elegant.

After using this for a while, it does get pretty useless, but it's really nice to just have on the desktop. Not sure why so many gadgets for the sidebar are so ugly, when something that looks this nice arises. I guess most of them are just over making widget's for Apple's dashboard or something. Still going to keep this though. ^.^
