    Classic...so many PC users talk against Macs and claim that Mac OS X is bad, yet Windows users try to emulate it or try to run it on their PCs.

  • objectdock is just ...

    objectdock is just a program that you can have hide the taskbar so all you have to do is uninstall the program and your back to normal again....its a running program so if you dont have a lot of ram it may run choppy i have a 1gb ram running windows xp and it runs smooth (the video looks choppy b/c of the video recording program)
