While glancing over my shoulder at work the other day I noticed something very Mac like on a Windows XP machine. Now I should point out that I work in an environment that has a little bit of every flavour of operating system running in some form or other. My work environment is also highly creative and it is not uncommon for extremely strange things to be happening.
What I saw was a dock which looked very similar to the application dock on Mac OS X. I had to ask what exactly it was – it was Rocket Dock. Its a really cool little application that proves extremely useful. I tend to have several windows and applications all opened at once. In fact I tend to have so many windows across two monitors that I lose track of them all. But Rocket Dock also me to minimize windows right to the dock and keep track of them. It really is a great piece of software. Did I mention it is FREE?
Having developed “FREE” software before I know how much it really costs. As I like this little application so much I have even ordered a t-shirt. It is a karma thing, you have to support developers who develop great software. Plus you get a t-shirt to boot. Check out Rocket Dock, I am sure you’ll like it as much as I do.

That sounds like some cool software and FREE. I love free software but I really don’t mind paying for it too. But Microsoft software is over priced!! I always try to donate some cash to free software developers. It’s good Karma.
I will have to check out Rocket Doc. I think Microsoft copied it in Windows 7.
