RocketDock.com - Adds Some Mac-esque Touches to PC

Envy the ease and slickness of Apple’s design? Whenever one of your pals pops out their MacBook Pro, can’t help admiring the pretty details? Well now, at least, you can get the same neat looking dock using RocketDock. RocketDock apes your Mac desktop dock. All your desktop app icons sit nicely on a animated dock bar. You can easily drop in shortcuts and customize them to your liking. Other features include minimizing windows to the dock, running app indicators, multi-monitor support, and rel time window previews (with Vista). Besides that RocketDock is compatible with MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and Y’z Dock skins. There are also quite a few extras- docklets which will tell you how many emails you have in your inbox, the current outdoor temperatures, etc, wall papers, and icons. All of this is free to download.

“RocketDock is a smoothly animated, alpha blended application launcher. It provides a nice clean interface to drop shortcuts on for easy access and organization. With each item completely customizable there is no end to what you can add and launch from the dock.

Now with added Taskbar support your minimized windows can appear as icons on the dock. This allows for better productivity and accessibility.”

RocketDock gives Windows users a hint of Mac’s usability. It’s designed with the user in mind and it makes managing your desktop simpler—more intuitive.

Will RocketDock remain free?
