Have you always envied Mac users and how they always talk about how OSX is so great, including the dock feature. Well, now you can get that feature for Windows XP or Vista and for free.Rocketdock is a free dock clone for Windows and is based off the somewhat popular ObjectDock dock clone which is made by Stardock but why buy that when Rocketdock is free.
It has several features that make it quite useful. If you turn on the "minimize windows to dock" feature, it has live previews just like the Vista taskbar would, but note that live previews for the dock is only available in Windows Vista. And just like OSX, it highlights currently running programs and can be set to open a new instance of the program or open the existing session.
You can customize the dock to your liking and even support further development, if you want but you will not be coerced to do so.
To whet your appetite here is a screenshot of what my desktop looks like with Rocketdock installed. To get the same look on your desktop you will need a couple other utilities which will be revealed in the following weeks. Before you ask, that is indeed Vista Home Premium.
