Dell is going to include a dock in it's new laptops including XPS M1330 and 1530. The dock is actually made by Stardock and licensed to Dell. A Gizmodo's editor posted a review of this dock and called it pretty but lifeless. He actually compared it directly to OS X's dock and expected too much like bouncing of AIM icon when a new message arrives. I think this dock is pretty useful and if you don't like it then uninstall it and download RocketDock with some nice dockets.

What do you think?

I don't see the point of this. Why not just include ObjectDock? It's way better, and I think it's the best dock out there. And yes, I do know that Stardock makes this.

looks kinda pointless to me

It looks pointless like Merforga said, why not just include ObjectDock?

Looks nice... I don't much care for the OSX looking icons though.....

omg A DOCK, how special and innovative!
There are plenty of docks available for windows which have practically the same functionality.

P.S. Somebody should make a skin of the DELL dock for RocketDock and others.

I like it because it's a dynamic dock, not a static folder launcher.

Nope, there is a machine check.

At any rate, Im not sure I'd want to use it, if reports of ~30mb ram usage are accurate.

When you try to install the package it tells you which models can be install to however I tried a different model # (Still Dell brand) and it worked however do not waste your time.....it's a piece of you know what...the configuration options is ridiculous..my take DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

[Villain]

good thing my machine is a Dell then, LOL!

i will let you know if it works!

ok, it needs Vista. i will try again when i boot in to vista next time.

It doesn't work on a OEM patched "DELL" lol
But it's easy to extract the resources of it - icons and stuff for RocketDock or something.

Edit: Made a rocket dock skin just for fun
