[Scorbing]

Of all these Docks which one do you guys recommend?

I use ObjectDock because I love the black skin which goes very well with Windows Vista. I don't see what's wrong with ObjectDock and why many people prefer the uglier RocketDock. I tried that once and there was a reason I didn't like it, but I cannot remember.

When I get Windows 7, I'll do away with docks though and use the amazing new taskbar for everything :)

Yeah, I agree. I don't use a dock anymore (start menu for apps and sidebar for gadgets is sufficient), but I was always an OD/OD+ supporter. It has so many more features, and does just about everything better. I don't know why the others are more popular.

None of the above!

CircleDock!

One-click access to the programs represented by the shortcuts. A mouse with a middle-click on the scroll-wheel is perfect for this, as the dock rotates via the scroll-wheel.

Easy to configure, responsive, and very unobtrusive.

Caveat Emptor: This is Alpha 0.9; however. I've had zero problems with this software.

Bonus: It's Open Source!

Good god, that's a mess!

But when I was using a dock program , I used RocketDock, and it did the job very well. Nothing will ever beat Yz Dock though :p

No kidding. I was surprised when Windows 7 ran it without it being in compatibility mode. You would think Microsoft would have programmed a clone of it by now.

Object Dock Plus, I like to use one dock on the top and one on the bottom. I think is the only dock it can do that

If there were a dock application that could serve as a task switcher as well I'd probably use one. I was using ObjectDock, and liked that. But in the end it was just a glorified Quick Launch bar with fancy animations. I like the Mac OS X dock, but none of these clones cut it. Wish I could minimize my programs to the docks, or place a folder on the dock then drag and drop files into it.

Until then...Start Menu FTW.

i like to use RocketDock, but recently stopped using everything except the start menu to use less resources

Am I the only one using RKLauncher? :|

[Tha Bloo Monkee]

I've never heard of RKLauncher. I've tried Rocketdock before and didn't like it, it didn't have the features I needed. I use ObjectDock now. :D I don't even use the Taskbar; it's been completely replaced with the dock!

I was using rklauncher.

Now im using windows taskbar. :)
