The Apple Macintosh has a really cool feature: Dashboard.

Dashboard widgets let you, the computer user, move whatever visual informations you want to have on your screen around. YOu can arrange them however you want.

Very much like the ActiveDesktop – with a few notable differences. It does not cause the computer to freeze, the components are easy to create out of standard HTML/CSS/JavaScript and a tiny dash of XML, and the Dashboard files are not huge.

It puzzles me why you do not see a lot of articles being published saying how executives describe this as their dream desktop DSS platform. I imagine if they could have a decision support system with components like this for themselves, they would. Think that $599 computer price is holding a lot of CEOs back?
