Yahoo Buys Konfabulator

And makes it free. From the Press Release:

"Yahoo is counting on the widgets to make users more curious about certain topics, services or events, ultimately driving more traffic to its Web site [...]"

Already widgets.yahoo.com is live and free downloads for Windows and Mac are up. I don't know what the uptake of Tiger is (We're still not running it at the Jenson/Wong household) but I know people still running Konfabulator on Tiger waiting for their favorite widget to be ported to Dashboard or who want to run the same widget on Windows as on their Mac.
