While away at Engage!09, of course I was surrounded by Macs. Everyone I know has been telling me to get a Mac, but I can’t for one very good reason…I have WAY too much software that I use everyday that I would have to purchase all over again or be forced to run Windows on a Mac (which seems a bit superfluous) in order to run them.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
At any rate, i was quite envious of the cute docks that Macs use, similar to Window’s task bar (a little). I stumbled upon something for Windows that gave me what I wanted. Rocket Dock. Rocket Dock allows you to put your most frequently used programs, files, etc. in an animated dock, just like Macs. Take a look:
Features:
- Minimize windows to the dock
- Real-time window previews in Vista
- Running application indicators
- Simple drag-n-drop interface
- Multi-monitor support
- Supports alpha-blended PNG and ICO icons
- Icons zoom and transition smoothly
- Auto-hide and Popup on mouse over
- Positioning and layering options
- Fully customizable
- Completely Portable
- ObjectDock Docklet support
- Compatible with MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and Y’z Dock skins
- Runs great on slower computers
- Unicode compliant
- Supports many languages and can easily be translated
- A friendly user base
- And best of all… its FREE!!!
I love that I don’t have to go to my taskbar, menu or desktop to access what I want when I need it.

Hey – I can’t belive I actually knew about and used soemthign before you. How!? But my sweetie computer-tech hubby-to-be found this a few months ago and we both love it. Very cool indeed. We had a few bugs on our system, but nothing serious and I think most have been worked out.
