Yes I am jealous. Jealous of an awesome piece of machinery which is sleek, fast and cool. No its not Linux, Ubuntu or even Windows (definitely not Windows). Its an OS (operating system), that its name could be mistaken for someones name.

I am talking about Macs. Macs are great, admit it. One great thing about it is their nice Dock. A dock is something that you can use as a shortcut to access programs fast. It looks nice as well.

Too bad Windows doesn't have that. After a bit of research (and luck) I found a nice customizable replacement for this.


Rocket Dock is your best alternative and that is no understatement.
