It is really great — 11MB of memory being taken up for a computer that has been on and running RocketDock for more than 24 hours. It says in the features that it was designed with slow computers in mind.

It is nice, however, I do not like the fact that you can not specify what icons to have on it. I never use "My Documents" and rarely "My Network Places" or "My Music" or "My Pictures". Now to be able to put icons to the apps that I use all the time, that would be awesome. I just downloaded and tried this.
