The DOCK on a WINBOX

INVADERS! Looks like more and more people are trying to make Windows look more like a Mac. See, if there is a Windows emulator for the Mac -- the Virtual PC, then there are tweaks for windows that will make it look more like a Mac (although it may not function as one).

If you're a die-hard Windows user and there's nothing in you that can compel yourself to get yourself a Mac, but you obviously drool over the BEAUTIFUL Icons and transitions that the Mac has then salivate no more. A company named Stardock has created some programs for Windows that make it look more like a Mac. One of these programs is the OBJECT DOCK. If you're a Mac Fanatic then you'll know by now that what I'm talking about is the DOCK from OS X, if you're a Windows user and knows nothing about the Mac, then read on.

The DOCK is like the Task Bar in Windows. There you can find and place your Frequently Used Icons/Shortcuts for your (of Course) Frequently Used programs. The difference? THE WOW EFFECT that the Animation of the DOCK shows. With Windows Task Bar, yeah it's there. But that's it. With the DOCK, well it's there, you can see it's presence, but try running your mouse over the icons and....you should try to install it and be the judge.

OBJECT DOCK is just one of the wonderful and fun programs you can download from Stardock and is just one of the programs that will give you the feel of a Mac on Windows. Now who says that only Mac users can enjoy THE DOCK. The best thing about it is it's free!
