To emulate a Vista style sidebar allowing windows to be maximised and leave the gadgets (widegets) on the screen (not to be confused with 'always on top'), a 3rd party gadget can be installed to mimic the desired behaviour: http://nes.bplaced.net/sidebar7.html
This means a portion of your desktop 'real estate' is dedicated to your gadgets, which for me, is the whole point of them and with wide screen monitors being so common on laptops most people are more than willing to give up a slice of their desktop for them.
Other solutions involve replacing the win7 sidebar.exe file with that from Vista but that approach may unintentionally create problems further down the line and is a rather nasty hack.
