Small glitch in the Gadgets
Hello,I'm starting to try out Windows 7 RC, and love it so far (lot better then Vista!).Here's a small glitch I discovered: - if you add the gadget Weather and you create a location eg.: Mont-Saint-Martin, FR, and you want it shown in Celsius (yes, i'm from Europe ;-) ) So far so good, my location is shown, and the temperature as wanted in c.However, click on the location to get a more acurate forecast, and it shows the forecast in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.I know, it is only a detail, but I thought it might be helpfull.Kind Regards, Dimitri

Dimitri - Actually... The default for all MSN weather sites appears to be Farenheit. I set up a 2nd instance of the Weather gadget and set it to show me the weather in Paris, France and set it for C. It launched the forecast page for Paris in F. BUT.. Keep in mind that the gadget only sends the location to the web site - not any preferences for it. In the upper right corner of the web page there's an option to display weather in degrees F or C - click the C and it will show it all in Celsius. It will remember that setting for future inquiries.
