Launch Applications with Rocket Dock
By Madhur Kapoor on Jun 14, 2008 in Windows
Rocket Dock is a Mac OS X style launcher application for Windows. It looks smoothly blended as well as animated. Though there are other products of its type such as MobyDock, Object Dock etc I have found it to be the best so far.
Windows can be minimized as icons
You can easily drop your icons on it so that they can be accessed easily. One of its best features is its Taskbar support through which your minimized windows appear as icons on the Dock. In Windows Vista, it even gives real time Window Previews. It is highly customisable. You can select its position, layering, animation options, it comes with a lot of skins which are cool. The animations and transitions are very smooth. It is a very light weight and can even run well on slow computers. It is also compatible with MobyDock, Object Dock, RK Launcher etc.
And yes, it is FREE. A great tool to increase your productivity. Have you tried software’s like these? If so , which one do you prefer ? Share your thoughts in comments.
This is really a nice launcher. The effects are pretty cool!

I have been using RocketDock for quiet some time and definitely love it, it has made my desktop completely empty because I never store a icon on my desktop anymore

This is my favorite dock. I have been using this for years now.

I remember trying RocketDock when it came out.
But, I have always been a fan of Object Dock Pro. Its heavier than RDock but has better effects and more options.

I haven’t tried any dock options in Windows yet but this looks like it’ll make me convert. Thanks for the heads up buddy.
