I am always looking for new gadgets to add to my Vista and Windows 7 desktop. I recently ran across the server ping gadget. The great thing about this gadget is its simple and straight forward. The free version allows you to monitor up to five servers. You can specify the refresh rate and timeout limit for the ping status. The best feature like is the simple red and green traffic light system it uses. At a quick glance you can see if your servers are up or down. There is also a pro version that you can buy which will support up to twenty five servers. Check out the links below to find out more about this great gadget.

Its too bad the Microsoft took them down. I really don’t understand their decision to pull the majority of the gadgets from the site.
I agree 100%. Their decision to remove all the gadgets is rediculous. Windows 8 won’t be available for at least a year.
very nice gadget. thanks
