Achilles' Heel: 8GadgetPack

Okay, so you remember gadgets? Like that annoying little penguin bastard you could access in Windows 7 by right-clicking the wallpaper and clicking Gadgets? And you ever missed those? Well 8GadgetPack is the solution to your problems. Sort of. You would think this is just the standard gadgets that came with your standard installation of Windows 7, but it's not. You do get the basic things, such as the aforementioned penguin bastard + the other 10 puzzles I had no idea even existed until I messed around with the settings, the clock nobody uses besides your 80 year old grandma, weather, and yeah. 8GadgetPack comes with a neat little piano gadget from this Japanese photo website called Photo-bon, and it's actually kind of cool. But not everything else. 8GadgetPack comes with a lot, and I mean a LOT of clock and weather programs. Don't believe me? Take a look at some of the gadgets I restored from Recycle Bin. Right away, you can see 2 CPU meters,  2 calendars, 2 currency conversion thingies (there's no difference between them other than the version number being 2.0.0.0 instead of 1.0.0.0 and the 2.0.0.0 version being modded by someone so it actually works still), 2 clocks (there's way more when you install them, I just chose not to save them from Recycle Bin), 2 of those system shutdown things (there's about 4 of them that met the same fate as the other clocks), and when you install the pack, 2 RSS feed gadgets. Yeah, I'm just gonna end it here. Image of the whenever is below the gadget image.
