For those of you who have been waiting for a billQ "widget" for Windows, you will be happy to know that we have just released one in the form of an Adobe AIR application. This will also allow you Mac users to run billQ as a stand-alone application without the need to load Dashboard.
We decided to go with an AIR application for a number of reasons, the biggest being that it was the most consistent platform. Instead of needing to build a bunch of different widgets for different widget platforms (a Yahoo Widget, a Vista Gadget, etc.) we could build one application that would work on multiple operating systems. All you need to do to use the billQ AIR App is install Adobe AIR Beta 2 (which is even easier than installing Flash) and then install the billQ App (also very easy).
The billQ AIR App has the same functionality as the Dashboard Widget — the ability to view bills, mark them as paid, edit amounts, and add new one-time bills — but it can be run as an individual application that will show up in your dock/taskbar/system tray just like all the others.
For more information on how to install and run the billQ AIR App, check out the Widgets page (which I guess is now somewhat inappropriately named). You can also find a link to download the billQ AIR App within billQ on your Tools page.
If anyone has any questions or is having trouble getting things to work correctly, send us an email at support@mybillq.com and we'll try to help.
