Basically, from memory of the one time I bothered to click on it, a
shortcut to a website that few people wanted to visit.

Dashboard was largely a gimmick that most people occasionally only
found themselves in by accident. Most of the widgets were worthless
toys. It was also ridiculous hobbled by being a separate overlaid
layer, a fact that Apple later tried to rectify by allowing widgets to
work on the "normal" layer.



> Some people use Garbageband, I guess.

"Some people" use pretty much anything. Pretty much all of the iLife
software was used by "some people", but for the vast majority most of
it was a waste of disc space. Over the years of setting up Macs for
various people (a variety of ages, both personal users and business
users), I can't think of even one who wanted or needed to use iChat,
iMovie, Garagaeband, etc. Most users simply want to be able to use the
internet / email, crate text documents / simple DTP, etc.
