Aqua-Soft ForumsI've only been using yzdock and haven't tried mobydock or objectdock.
What are the differences, advantages, disadvantages of each?
Best Dock Program?
well they all have their conz and proz lol,
i my self if i were to USE one, i'd pick the objectdock only cause it runs best and smoothest on MY system.

Why to believe in what somebody says when you can try them for yourself? 
Personaly i use ObjectDock too... it runs awesome in my pc... i like the features it has... and it just has a feeling of sofistication i just can't explain
and... Jeff... he is such a supporting friend, he is always caring about how we feel his releases...
and coz is the dock with the fastest evolution of all.... 
I also very much prefer ObjectDock.
"ObjectDock for me please!"
I simply love the objectdock, mostly because of the feel of it, just like ߣ@¢kvî©_>
Moby's new 0.65 is giving me some problems, so sorry to say i was not converting even though i wanted to at first.
BUT...(and this is just so important) I THINK ALL YOU GUYS THAT DEVELOP THESE DOCKS SHOULD BE AWARDED SOMETHING CLOSE TO THE NOBELPRICE!!!! You make it all happen.
THANX!!!!
Underdunk, I don't use objectdock but yes mobydock, yzdock and the iceman's docks. Mi opinion is that mobydock is slow and it use RAM. Iceman's docks is good because it's fast and use pc's resource but the icon don't look as good as other docks.
Yzdock is the aplication that I use in my pc now. It's easy to configure, the icon look very well but I don't can't use short cut to my taskbar, panel control and others... but released update soon (I hope this problem will be solution).
If you PC is slow use iceman's dock but if you search your pc is "beatiful" use yzdock.
I hope you understand me because I'm spanish and I don't speak english very well 
Its really strange how there is this sudden surge of Docks running around. Its really cool, but strange. I remember back a couple months ago when your only choice was pretty much MobyDock.
Although I got mobydock configured the way I wanted back in the day, It was just too much hassle for the shabby looks it gave at the time (Just to let you know, when I first tried MobyDock is was in WAY early beta). It had a slight learning curve, but I didnt really mind that aspect of it.
Eventually, Y'z came around and I've been using that ever sense. Yes, I know moby has a new version, but for some reason it doesnt run very smooth on mine. All I know is that Y'z and its new .4 version is rockin! All though Y'z isnt quite the "Defender of RAM usage" like it was in .3, it still (according to MY benchmarks) uses the least.
So yeah, Y'z is my first choice. But hey, Christmas is right around the corner! I dont know bout you guys, but as soon as I get another 128 of RAM, im switchin to ObjectDock. The ONLY reason I dont use it now is simply because it takes WAY too much RAM. But when that doesnt become a problem, the other 2 docks need to watch out. If the other Docks decided to put in the same features as Object without the RAM hogging I would go back to them. Its really strange too how I run 256MB of RAM with a P4 1.6GHZ and yet still have a performance problem with ObjectDock. I guess when you have like 50 things open at once like me you cant really devote 20MB of your RAM to a flashy object at the bottom of the screen. O well.
Thats my 15 cents.
ObjectDock all the way for me. I like Y'z way of doing things better, but the screenshot thing puts ObjectDock over the top. As long as it's the only one that can fully replace my Windows task bar, then I will use it.
Objectdock, But I'm an Objectdock Whore...
My pc's a piece of crap 
so speed is an issue for me... I'm not saying that Y'z and Moby's docks are slow though. It works the best with my computer. But, most people nowadays have system's that are up to par, with a graphics card over 8meg, Lol. So Try them all out and see how they run individually. Choose the one that runs the best, can display a lot of candy for your eyes that doesn't sacrifice performance and one that you are most comfortable using. 
Obviously.
Respect goes to Moby, Y'z and Jeff.
Cheers.
I too prefer ObjectDock but we all know full well what is going to happen to it. We are the beta testers and as soon as the final version is ready its going the way WindowBlinds did. Its going to cost $19.95 for the fully fuctional version. For this reason alone I am pining my hopes on MobyDock or YzDock. I don't feel like putting even more money into Stardocks pockets. They have become the Microsoft of windows customising buying up anyone who gets in there way. This is my personal feelings on this and I don't expect everyone to agree with me on this. But please everyone don't get to excited about ObjectDock. You will only end up disapointed in the end.
Welll, I too like ObjectDock the best with Y'z Dock coming up a close second with MobyDock bringing up the rear, but as impulseman36 said we all know that Stardock is gonna start charging for it as soon as the final version is completed....and no matter how good it is, there is no way I'm gonna pay for a small thing like a dock (especially not to Stardock)

I always liked moby and later yz dock in particular (i still like yz a lot actually) but OD is the best [in my opinion]. it just has everything like the osx and all that needs to be done is a lil cosmetic change, maybe, and pop up folders i guess :D
*goku clapping hands in excitement*
just in general i got some pms from some people who think that few veteren users here are stardock's guardians, like me, duckie and others, well i just wanna starighten things out: WE ARE NOT.
As much as i used to complain about them lately with the "lack" of updates (and people remember that), they sent me a personal email telling me exactly whats going on with them, and i was realizing they truly rule (in the good meaning).
SO PLEASE YA'LL- lets have some more appreciation to stardock. microsoft is evil - stardock didnt buy anything and isnt going to BUY YZ or MOBY, you would still have the choice of moby or Yz and the freeware version of OD IF the did have the fully OD cost 19.99$. I dont see anything bad with what they are doing anyway.
Of course i hope they wont charge for objectdock, but if its going to be a 100% ability to mimic the osx one in the full release, ill pay. they DO DESERVE it.
Yes i know and me too - im in the same boat as you guys are - Yz stuff are all free and 99% of us are using his toobar and etc. - YES IT IS BETTER to have a freeware appli but many of us were trying to initate donations to repect Yz or moby so lets not forget, stardock a
re the ones who started all the skinning community..without their boost of WB, OB and wfx, none of us would enjoy this luxury we have nowadays.
And also, please lets try to keep the track of this thread straight, regarding the preferences of the docks.
GOKU
p.s. lets also not forget that moby has got to have a HUGE credit ... he sprang all this DOCK thing from first place.
just another reminder, WB might have a transparent titlebars in the next releases and alot of more features in Wfx2 and OB. even if its later, its happening.
Yz ALL THE WAY!!
I am planning to get an ibook pretty soon, and nowadays am not all that crazy about mac emu on windows. But Yz really has me excited.
Two things we have to look in a dock are: cosmetics and functionaity.
For me, Yz is the king in the first category. In functionality, I guess OD is better, but it doesn't 'feel' right. So I prefer Yz.
Master Y Rulez!!
I use object dock because it runs great on my craptop.
Y'z dock was my first and is good but it DOESN'T SHOW RUNNING APPS!!
Mobydock was my second dock and it is also good.
Both Objectdock and Mobydock have running apps displaying.

Just to let you know, the new version of Y's Dock does show running apps
I used Moby's dock first...a great dock indeed. It was this dock that made me want to skin my computer like a Macintosh. Big thanks to Moby
I currently use ObjectDock. A very well made and fast-running program. Popup folders/icons would make this dock perfect for me...but no big deal as Jeff is working on making a great program THANK YOU JEFF!!!
I am also supporting Goku. In fact, if any of you get Maximum PC (I do and confess I"m in love with the magazine) they have a nice 2-page article on Stardock and skinning your PC
