Finally I got my hands on the Windows 7 Beta version, Build 7000! This is a partial view of my desktop with some gadgets in full size, which now can be positioned anywhere on the desktop separately. The sidebar, the one you could open with WinKey + Space Key, is not exactly gone. What happens now in Windows 7 is that it has been renamed to "Gadgets" than can be reached by right-clicking on the desktop. Internally, the program continues to be called "sidebar.exe" and you can verify that by opening the Taskbar and looking in the "Processes" tab. The curious thing is that if you end that process, then ALL of the gadgets will close at once. Then, when you call back the gadgets ALL of them will open up at once where they were left off.
