Widgets aren't applications though. There's a big difference between a desktop addon (what Apple calls a widget) and a system-level app.

It all widgets are a highly cut down version of an application will permits only very certain system calls. If any.

So its not a given that just because Apple says we can run widgets, that we'll be able to run OpenOffice on it or something.
