ObjectDock

ObjectDock allows the user to place shortcuts to any program in a "dock."

This provides Windows users functionality similar to that of Mac OS X.

The free version is no longer available from the official site, but is still available from the CNET CDN that the homepage used to redirect to.

Its functionality can be enhanced with plugins to provide features such as weather forecasts or news.

Version 2.0 added preliminary Vista support, resource-searching, improved drag-and-drop, and new zoom effects.
