    ^ more place for more objects and things to stuff in, may be? and customizing better??

    I use just OD on my laptop, and with the widescreen, just one for me is more than enough for all the essentials..

    I have RD on my desktop though.

    I like rocketdock better, and I used to have 2 docks on my dual screen. 1 dock per screen ;]

    I tried them both. Search around here for posts with my name for my opinions. FWIW, I prefer RocketDock. Here is a recent example of my configuration.
