A new version of ObjectDock is available. ObjectDock is a program that combines a task manager and program launcher together -- but with a lot of style. It's similar to the dock on MacOS X.

New in 0.85:

- Much less memory used by default
- Can now set the dock to be either always on top, always on bottom, or normal (Z-order).
- New magnification mode options available.

It's available at www.objectdock.com.

ObjectDock is freeware.
