wallits elementary os
gnome panel
slingshot
cairo dock
docky unfortunately lacks one very important feature which is the ability to switch between instances or windows of the same app. bad bad bad. un-usable when your dock is your window management and when cairo dock does have this functionality. even Windows XP had "taskbar grouping"

oh, i'd also like to take this opportunity to bitch about unity. don't like it. i couldn't launch a damn thing. like, i looked at it and looked at it again and intuitively...nothing. it needs work which is why i think its safe to say Natty sucks! crap. give me a "special" person version with gtk+3 and gnome-panel plz
I think you get what i mean.
It's like trying to explain to someone about something they've never experienced -- meaning that in the future, 'if' we had no local storage capacity on a lappy, but never had it to begin with -- why would we miss it!?
That fucking sucks huh!
