This is way COOL!!!

Have any of you guys tried the program called "Rocket Dock" available for Vista? I just downloaded it to Windows XP and it is totally awesome! Very easy to use and set up so I put it on all 4 of my computers. If you want the download site just type in Rocket Dock on Google and it's the first listing, download and run it. You'll see what I see ... that Microsoft actually is capable of making something cool for a change.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

It's pretty cool but as usual, it is a 3rd party making something that Microsoft does better

The Dock on a MAC is sweet. The Vista Sidebat is not so sweet. This app is getting a lot of good attention though - probably why their site is getting hammered at the moment - will definitely need to download though

whats nice about it

is being able to make your own icons (.ico or .png )
and adding them to the roller bar as you see fit

and that is very cool

because microsofts OS's seem to always F with them
all the time changing them back to defaults or blanks

oh....if anyone needs an icon made let me know...

you can use plugs as icons too
