Pros
none that I could find, the program doesn't work.
Cons
It loads a bunch of defaults like Outlook Express, Messenger, etc. Completely out of touch with what's going on. Launch their website: 404 error
Summary
Do not install this it doesn't work. CNET really needs to get it together and go through all of their downloads. This is tragic.
Best Dock Ever

Pros
I think this is a great dock. It has support for object dock and rocket dock themes that can easily be imported. It looks great. Low on system resources. It can be skinned to look just like the Snow Leopard dock.
Cons
There's nothing I don't like about it.
Summary
Awesome dock. Highly recommended.

Pros
It's a quick way to open often used programs
Cons
Nothing I actually dislike about it...but being a creature of habit, I find that I still use the 'old fashioned' way of opening programs.
Summary
If you're a gadget freak, this small program is right up your alley. If you're set in your ways, you can probably live without it. Hey...it's free...make your own decision.
