Windows 2003/XP / Freeware / 44,205 downloads

Y'z Dock is a program launcher like the dock in MacOS X. This application is currently in beta, so please send all reports to the author. In order to add icons, drag and drop a file (.exe, shortcut, etc.) straight from Explorer to the dock area. In order to delete an icon, drag and drop the icon out of dock. Place the PNG images for your icons in the icons folder. Right-click on the icons in the dock, choose 'Property' and choose your icons images there. Right-click anywhere on your dock background and choose 'Setting' to change the settings that apply to the dock itself. The clock and the trash bin are not yet implemented, but they will be shortly.

    Extremely small memory footprint. About 672k w/o being in use, but about 2.2kb with use. The setting qualities are all on high, and I have it pretty transparent. Great functionality. I highly reccomend this app, just Google around and you'll find a good link.

    Well it gets a 1 from me now. Click on the link to his website and you will see he stopped working on it due to threats from Apple. How stupid! Here I thought maybe Apple was better than Microsoft, but obviously not. They are just as much a bully as Bill is.

    First off, this is a great program. If I can't get a true Mac emulator for my PC, than this is as good as it gets. Now to all you Mac flamers out there, I'm a die-hard PC user. I haven't touched a Mac since the Apple //e I used in elementary school. I haven't looked at benchmark tests, so I don't know any "official" stats (since I don't trust the SPEC tests). All I know is that my P3 1.0 gHz computer doesn't run StarCraft as fast as my friend's G4 733 mHz. I don't care of Mac processors don't have the same gHz speed as Pentiums. The simple fact is, they perform better.

    I'm still not giving up my PC, though.

    This new version is so fast! This program has completely replaced my quick launch bar, and its the most useful piece of software on my PC. Great original concept by Apple. My only problem with Y'z Dock is the number of page faults that show up in my windows task manager. The program never has crashed for me, but it seems that there are page faults occuring every second the program is running. The only other program on my PC to do this is explorer.exe (lol). And after running Y'z dock for several hours, I had 10,000,000 page faults, and this is no joke. I dont know a thing about page faults, but I would sleep better at night if this bug were addressed :-) All in all, this is definately a five star program.
