Finally i was able to get the idea in action and i am very happy to say that after lot of efforts and iterations and technical hitches we were able to come up with some meaningful and visually appealing widgets for MS CRM 4.0. However, these are still very limited in functionality but a good start.
So now we have one for "Top 10 Activities" which shows Subject of the Activity, Type, Due on and Priority. Also a link on the left side which will take you to the MS CRM record and open the form with all the details.
2nd one is for Support people " Top 10 Cases" with Title, Priority,Logged On, Case Number.
Also the widget has the setup which allows you to define the location of the MS CRM server and authentication.
We will be expanding these to be more flexible so that people can choose what they want to see in the widget based on MS CRM entity, predefined queries and what columns etc.. also we will be expanding it to graphical widgets with various types of charts. Also i was thinking why not make these widgets available on mobiles like iPhone or Windows based mobile devices.
You can download this widgets from our website and we have also given the Installer with User manual to guide the people.

Please send me your valuable thoughts, critical feedbacks and ideas to make this experience better.
I will try to be more regular now ;-)
