That being said, many of the gadgets in the screenshots that posted above would make excellent PowerToys. IMHO, attempting to recreate this would be a huge timesink for little gain. Even if the original gadget platform code was open-sourced (which likely won't ever happen, as it was part of Windows core, and Microsoft is very allergic to open-sourcing parts of that codebase), such a project would run into a number of unavoidable bugs related to Internet Explorer being a newer version than what shipped with Windows 7 RTM.

Keep in mind the original gadget platform implementation was very dependent on an outdated version of the Trident rendering engine.
