What's the probability of getting:

a RTM Launchy plugin (one that doesn't require use of twitter)?

a Vista sidebar gadget?

I would absolutely love a launchy plugin that doesn't use twitter. The twitter hack works great, but it's kind of annoying to get a confirmation text message every time I add a task through launchy.

launchy integration would be great. The twitter workaround will not work on my work laptop :^(

a workaround for launchy i found is to create a desktop internet shortcut to

then place the shortcut in the place where you have launchy keep all your shortcuts, this shortcut will then open a window to quickly input data although it is not as fast as typing straight into launchy would be

I'd use the Vista sidebar gadget for sure.

I'm still not comfortable enough using RTM from my desktop machine to pay for BlackBerry sync. The two together would seal the deal.

Vista gadget! Not because I want to quickly add stuff, but because I want my tasks in my face, and being reminded of them every time I look at the desktop!

Vista Gadget vote here too. The active desktop on XP option is nice - but can't do that on Vista.

You can totally do active desktop on Vista too! Well sorta. So here's what I did to get it... (very similar to the XP active desktop tutorial)

1) Goto the microsoft website and look for the gadget 'minibrowser' or you can click the link below.

2) Download the gadget and put it on your sidebar.

3) Login to remember the milk through internet explorer and make sure you hit 'remember me on this computer'.

4) Next point the minibrowser gadget to the address http://rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/googleig/

Voila! You have access to RTM on your desktop! If you want the window to be larger, you can click on the settings icon for the gadget and there is a 'size' tab where you can adjust the size of the window. Hope this helps some people!!

Sorry, also you can hide the address bar, status bar, and buttons that would detract from a super sexy desktop too :) All in the settings!

I also made a blog post about it with more detailed instructions if you're interested.
