I don't have Tiger, but maybe those here who do would be interested in this article about widget dangers.
See what you think, eh? ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Hmm. Maybe they have disabled the auto download thing. I didn't get any evil widget from visiting. I'm not sure that it is too bad if one has to click to download- if you are downloading anything you should trust the source.
Having said that, dashboard really doesn't seem all that polished at the moment. Maybe in a few updates it will hang together better.
I have just discovered core image fun house, which is well worth a fiddle if anyone has tiger. I think you need to have the dev tools installed, but then if you right click an image and open with the fun house, much amazing magick can be done.

I think the thing with Dashboard is there is "potential" for trouble. I agree that Dashboard doesn't seem that polished. It could become cool, but for now it seems kind of not all that great. I have occassionally used the Stickies widget, but overall it seems a little slow. For example, the iTunes widget takes a few seconds to load sometimes, it is faster to Command + tab to iTunes and make whatever changes there, than use the widget.
Still, Tiger is pretty cool. The Core Image Fun House is very fun as well.

auto-install is just as bad a security flaw as anything in IE.
