Ever wanted a Dock in Vista which has the feeling of a Mac?
You can, with ObjectDock!
Let's start!
But first, I'll show you the world record Low-End PC with Vista Home Premium.

Note, the PC works at full speed.

First, download and install ObjectDock.

Click the fucking Orb, All Programs, StarDock, ObjectDock, ObjectDock.

Here you have the Dock opened, just above your taskbar.
But there is more.
The taskbar is still below, everything is very defaulty and the Dock is invisible while something is maximalised.

No problem!
Just uncheck "Lock the Taskbar".
Click and hold the taskbar and go up.

And check "Lock the Taskbar".

Feel free to drag and drop applications you miss in the Dock, like Word.
But first, we go to the Dock Settings.

Change the background, if you like.
But now, follow the screenshot.

And now, like in Mac OSX!

The Dock comes in very handy.
Escapply if you are to lazy the go to the Start Menu.
Like I said before, you can drag-and-drop, remove, and customate your Dock, as much as you like!
Sometimes, people even use a Dock, as a replacement of the taskbar! :D
