		DesktopX is priced at several levels, starting at $14.95 for an end user version that can just load objects create dby others.

		DesktopX objects don't just look purty, there's one that controls WinAmp, another that's a visual biff for checking your mail, and another that's a replacement drive icon that shows free disk space as a pie chart.

	Konfabulator for Windows - A Forum Post by Draginol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		To be fair, DesktopX 1.0 wasn't as nice as Konfabulator is when it came to delivering widgets.
		With DesktopX, as long as DesktopX is installed somewhere you can run a widget as you would any other program -- complete with a task manager icon or system tray icon for it.
		So DesktopX may seem more complicated but only because it tried to make it easier for people to create content rather than be purely at the mercy of some small group of techies who have mastered the fl art of widget making.

	:: LAPTOP Magazine • Stardock DesktopX 3.0 ::
		DesktopX is nearly identical in function to another desktop customization utility, Konfabulator (both feature very similar freely downloadable widgets).
		A clear advantage for DesktopX Pro is its ability to turn widgets into gadgets that can be run on any Windows 2000 or Windows XP-based PC, without the need to first install DesktopX.
		When we first heard of DesktopX, we thought it would be a great way to change the look of our Windows desktop, but after using it, we realized that it changes the way you use Windows.

	méprisant: Konfabulator, Kapsules And DesktopX : A Review Of Sorts
		Apple would like people to think that these programs are clones of "their" Dashboard, but the truth is that DesktopX came first, followed by Konfabulator and finally Kapsules.
		DesktopX was not designed to only place Objects (Widgets in Konfabulator / Kapsules parlance) on one's desktop.
		I had hoped that DesktopX, a shareware application would do better with available resources, but I was to be dissapointed again.
