Question

I saw the Gadget "Speed Test" and "Stock" in some Windows 7 books, but don't find it on Win 7?

There is a "Get more gadgets online" but they look quite 3rd party... and installing them might have some security risk?

Answer 1

Speed Test is here.

Several Stock quote gadgets are available here. Just take your pick.

As for the risk of installing them : There's always a risk, but you can minimize that by choosing gadgets that have good reviews, which means that they have passed some tests by other users.
