You will be surprised and delighted at how often wikipedia is just plain better than Google if you need to know something "right now". This is the widget that got me to start using Dashboard in my day to day workflow.

I'm so glad someone made this widget. Now that I have this in my Dashboard, I very rarely visit Wikipedia in my browser, except when editing entries. (Although you can edit within the widget, it's still a bit uncomfortable for me at such a small size.) Generally, my encyclopedia searches are for fairly quick information regarding questions I find in my usual Web searches, so keeping this in a nice little widget, separate from my regular Web browsing, is great. It's even more useful for my less computer-savvy relatives, who don't know what Wikipedia is. I've installed it on at least three other computers, and they're enjoying it too.

Fantastico. In una righetta c'รจ tutto lo scibile della Wikipedia. Una volta immessa la parola da cercare si ingrandisce il widget, volendo fino a pieno schermo, e cancellando la ricerca orna ad occupare lo spazio di una caccola.
Davvero il miglior Widget che abbia scaricato sinora.
