As you probably all know by now I've been using objectdock for a while, but before object dock came "RocketDock" which is the one I used to use on a regular basis.
So what is RocketDock? In simple terms it's an emulation of the Mac OSX Dock, but it's for windows. There are many dock applications out there for Windows.
Ok so on with the review.
Usability: RocketDock is very easy to use and set up in a matter of seconds. And it just works.
RAM usage: The RAM it uses is very little compared to other dock programs.
Stability: The software is in fact very stable, I've never had any crash issues with the software.
Support: The support for 32bit Operating systems is ok, however the software can be run on 654bit, and there is also support for Windows 7. So no matter what Windows Version your using you should be able to download and use this software.
Version: I am somewhat disapointed since the site hasn't made a new version since last year, and it would be a shame to see such a project abanonded.
Graphics: The minmise animation is somwhat ... disapointing compared to the minimise animation on ObjectDock. The RocketDock animation isn't as smooth.
Customisation: The large amount of Customisation on this dock will keep you busy for hours on end trying to find themes, icons, and docklets that all work together. It would have been nice to have the ability to package icons, themes and docklets in one installer (much like Objectdock) so it would save time.
Overall: A good dock program to start out with, it has a large comunity making icons and so on for it. However if your looking for something a little better I would go with ObjectDock.
