Yes.
Step 1: Wipe vista off your pc
Step 2: Install ubuntu
Step 3: Modify it to look exactly like you want (mac or whatever).
A less severe measure would be to obtain a copy of ObjectDock, but to be honest, these things aren't as usable as you would hope; I in fact found it a distraction, and much prefer using the free Launchy as an inobtrusive and quick alternative.
You mean that you want a dock on Vista? I thought you were switching from OSX to Vista, we would have hounded you for that :P
Here's RocketDock
It doesn't look like you can minimize windows into it or have Stacks, but it looks nice :P

I beg to differ, Rocketdock is far superior for a number of reasons. The interface is much more user-friendly, for one. It's more easily customizable, too. Launchy is handy as well, but I find myself using Rocketdock far more.
Aside from the eye candy, how does that differ from the quicklaunch icons? Heh the first thing I do with an XP install is give it the "classic" theme... that big blue jolly ranger button is yech...
*rotates the compiz cube a bunch* hehehe
the vista versions of the dock are indeed useless, and the quick launch is surely way better. in osx, it's small and I think rather well implemented... still not that useful though. oh and, I hate the default windows theme, but the windows media version theme is actually quite nice...
and yay for linux.
I use QuickSilver to launch applications from the keyboard in Mac OS X because I find it really unproductive to launch them with a mouse. Launchy is the same concept, so I suppose I would recommend that on Windows. If you don't feel handicapped by a mouse, feel free to use ObjectDock or RocketDock.
I got rocket dock. It's pretty sweet. I don't care to have things minimize into it... so I dig it.
Yeah, I keep it hidden at the top of my screen. I don't like to have many icons on my desktop, so it's a big help in ease of access.Quote:
