RocketDock
At a recent LAN I spotted a cool looking application running on a one of my friends PC’s. It turned out to be RocketDock. This application is self described as “a peace offering from the Mac community to you”; it is the creators’ hope that by providing Windows users with a pretty interface that the OS wars will end. :)
The best way to describe RocketDock is as the (cool) Mac menu for Windows. It supports opaqueness, bouncy icons while applications load and is really really pretty to look at and play with.
This application will probably not help you code better, play games better or be more productive, but on those days when you are feeling down and Windows XP is boring you to death it may just put a smile on your face.
