I have been looking for a dock (the thing at the bottom of MACs) but it looks like the best 2 RocketDock and ObjectDock only work for Vista 32 is there one for Vista 64bit?

so can anyone confirm that rocketdock doesnt work for 64bit? There website seems to be down and google points to NOT compatible

So is objectdock my only choice for a dock program? All of you say rocketdock is better

I don't know which dock is truly better, but I do know that Objectdock uses less resources.

I have Vista 64 and run Rocketdock without a problem. I lurve it.

Also I think you can still d/l from the website even though it is down. Read the fine print there.

Rocketdock works in Vista x64. I'm using it currently on my Vista Ult x64. What you saw probably meant it's not native 64 bit so it just installs in the ProgramFiles (x86) folder.

Yep, RocketDock works great on my Vista SP1 x64 too.

As morphy mentioned, it's a 32-bit program... but it runs fine on 64-bit Vista. I haven't encountered any problems at all.

I do see that their site says that RocketDock is " not supported" on 64-bit Vista. But... what can I say?... I've been using it every day on 64-bit Vista for about a month, and no problems at all.
