Make your desktop awesome! Circle Dock

Circle Dock is a desktop assistant software with an extremely cool interface. It's rumored to be included by default in Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Windows 7. As you can see from the images, this software differs from regular desktop shortcut software in that when you drag desktop shortcuts onto the software interface, it doesn't just add the file address of the shortcut but the actual file location. This feature is quite important because it prevents the software links from easily becoming invalid after we clean up the messy shortcuts on the desktop. When you hover your mouse over the rotating interface within the software, the icons can rotate in a very cool way. You can also add commonly used folders and use keyboard shortcuts. This is good news for students who love using software. However, upon checking the Task Manager, we find that once this software is launched, the CPU usage spikes immediately - my T5450 went straight to 50%. Students with less capable machines might just want to try it out and look forward to official updates!
