Stocks Gadget needs to show more stocks in sidebar (11/1/2007)
Three quotes are not enough - we should be able to adjust the height to show as many stocks as our sidebar has room!

Runs in Windows 7 (10/21/2009)
To run this gadget in Windows 7 wlsrvc.dll needs to be replaced with version of Windows 7 beta. (Google:"Stocks gadget removed in Windows 7 RTM) To deal with missing vertical resizing: just run multiple instances of gadget with 4 quotes each.

Not Great (7/1/2008)
As other person mentioned, can't vary vertical size. No support for multiple portfolios. Not easy to add a new symbol. Charts stink. I don't get MS.....they want ppl to like Vista, but put out crap like this. They should be providing leadership in this space by authoring kick-ass gadgets - tested by focus groups for true feedback.

It's okay
ISIN support (12/27/2007)
It would be great if we could add a new stock by using its ISIN code. As of now, it is fairly hard to add a new stock without having the corresponding US symbol.

Could be better (11/28/2007)
It would be much better if I could add my ticker, qty purchased, total purchase price and date and the gadget would show total gain or loss + rate of return.
