Idea #10249: Built in Dock (RK Launcher)

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #237: Functional dock.
Written by buffaloes79 the 24 Jun 08 at 19:51. Category: Look and Feel. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
As a former Mac and Windows user I can say that having a dock to access important programs instead of going to the Start menu, or it's equivalents, to find it is much easier. I love the Dock that comes standard on all Mac computers, and I use RK Launcher on all my Windows systems. Maybe Ubuntu could use a similar program.

Yeah, AWN does not support a horizontal bar yet, which makes it pretty much useless for me.

Erm, sorry, make that vertical... mixed up my directions.
