So in my on going struggle to get my sidebar to be functional like vista I downloaded the vista side bar from the internet. I took ownership of the 7 sidebar files, backed them up, deleted them, and replaced them with vista files. I then installed the vista gadgets that aren't compatible with 7, but I couldn't use the ones online anymore on windows site. I could only install myphone explorer from sony. The volume bar and other online windows gadgets wont open with the vista side bar on 7. So then I deleted the vista files, went back to the 7 sidebar, and now have all the gadgets I want installed. Took about 15 minutes but I kind of pioneered a work around for people who want myphone explorer on their sidebar for their sony phones.
I've had a few days to calm down and use 7 more, it's becoming less a disaster/disappointment. But still not the functionality and ease of use we should be at. On the flip side, it is nice that I've yet to experience a major crash or issue
