One thing we have all started using in the office recently is the Google Desktop Sidebar. As well as the built in search feature, which in my opinion is better than the standard search you get in Windows, you get a cool little sidebar for the side of your screen.
This can be customised with little things called ‘Gadgets’, which include (amonsgst many others) clocks, calendars, news readers, and a notepad. There’s also a gadget that lets you keep track of all the Euro 2008 results!
