The Sidebar is only included with Windows Vista, and there is not a version available for earlier versions of Windows.

Microsoft is supposidly working on a Windows XP version of the sidebar (reports Paul Thurrott) but there is no official word yet.

I'm pretty sure you've got some old information there. Paul's article mentions alternatives to Sidebar that will work on XP, not that Sidebar will be coming to XP. There was speculation about a year ago that Sidebar might make it to XP but since then it seems pretty much decided that the port isn't happening.
Never say never ;-)
Microsoft originally stated that WPF (or Avalon as it was called then) was only going to be on Vista/Longhorn yet the first public preview only worked on XP in Winter 2004. I'm going to hold my breath for a little while longer.

It would be nice if they would support gadgets on XP. If not, I'll end up having to use either Google or Yahoo.
There is no supported version for XP. The article is wrong.
