Can you download Microsoft Gadgets for XP?

I have XP on my netbook, and I was wondering if I could download microsoft gadgets (the vista sidebar) for XP. If I can, where? Also, if I can't, which is better and why: Google Desktop or Yahoo! Widgets? I have tried both but I am not sure which is best. Please give me your opinion!

the answer is by stormer :
No, you cannot use Vista Sidebar gadgets in XP.

Personally, I prefer Yahoo Widgets.
Why?
- Does not Index your hard drive like Google (although can be switched off).
- Looks more user friendly imo.
- Better GUI.
- Easy to configure.
- Similar to Gadgets in Vista and 7 when not locked to Sidebar.
