Konfabulator for Windows and Dashboard Difference

I have known that Mac users have been boasting of their Dashboard since it was implimented in OS X. But some people still don't know that Apple took the concept from Konfabulator which is now called Yahoo! Widgets. Well anyways, they  serve the same function, using small applets that uses a very small portion of the CPU's resources to run their thing. The main difference that I see between Yahoo! widgets and Dashboard is that...Yahoo! widgets run right in the windows desktop while Dashboard runs at the back of the Mac desktop and one still has to pull it up. Also the it's easier to look for the right Yahoo! widget for the user than the Dashboard web interface. Then again, they both serve their purpose. I will be downloading the Yahoo! widgets for Mac later, but don't you think it's a bit or redundant for my system.
