Codename: Dashboard is, an application that resides at the side of your screen, similar to the "Sidebar" component featured in the now-infamous Longhorn video.

Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, it is a host for interchangeable components. Through these components, Codename: Dashboard allows you to have any information you want, on your desktop, all the time.

The beta version of Codename: Dashboard is freely available for download. Keep in mind, this is a beta. It is an unfinished, test version. There will be bugs, and the program may not behave as you would expect.
