ObjectDock plus is FAR more advanced than that Y's crap and both ObjectDock and plus version have far less performance/stability issues than Y's dock. 586442346[/snapback] Yeah, and you're compare ObjectDock with YzDock that 2 years old! And one more thing, YzDock was developed by a person. While ObjectDock, well I acually didn't know, may developed by many more people. I didn't see any *craps* in YzDock, and if it still developed until now, maybe ObjectDock will never been born...

phot0nic Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 see, stuff like this is different on different computers. I mean, not_cool, you mention Y'z Toolbar taking 1 MB and other docks taking 8-10 MB. On my computer, Y'z Dock takes 3 MB and Objectdock takes 5 MB. Also, memory isn't everything bud. I mean, Y'z dock took slightly less memory on my computer, yet it was was so jerky, and ran much slower than Objectdock for me. So, I stick with Objectdock because it runs the best on *my* machine, and has more features anyway..... plus, what's an extra 2 MB of RAM compared to the whopping Gig I have in this system. I just wish that Objectdock got less bashing. It seems that although Stardock makes the most advanced customization programs, it gets bashed alot because it's a company rather than an individual. Oh well... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/364623-why-is-objectdock-legal-but-yz-dock-is-not/page/3/#findComment-586542092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Cool Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I agree with you on the fact that memory isn't eveything, I also have a gig. I just like YzDock more because it clones OSX dock so closely. The only thing I have against ObjectDock is that it seems that, at least for me, to be ripping people off (sorry I can't say it more nicely), and that if you settle witht the free version, it has an annoying popup. I am going for speed, I want my computer to be as quick as possible, and for me YzDock works. Also, I have noticed no jerkiness whatsoever with YzDock or ObjectDock. It just is a personal preference. And no, I don't compare Stardock to Yzdock (etc.) as company to individual.

Not Cool Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I want to set one thing clear. Sure, some docks use less memory than others in their basic setting, but if you add more shortcuts, effects, etc., there will be more memory used. So YzDock could possibly use 2 MB (very hard to do), while you get rid of all of ObjectDock's shortcuts, and it would also probably be at 2-3 MB. (I don't know this for myself, having not tried it).

phot0nic Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 oh, and about the using more memory with less docklets. Yes, that is a good point. My objectdock uses only 5 MB, but I only use 2 docklets with some folder shortcuts. However, Y'z used about 3 MB for me before I even put any docklets on.... so no, it's not hard to use over 2 MB in Y'z.

Not Cool Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 It's hard for me to reach 2 MB on YzDock. I have 13 shortcuts and one docklet and I'm only using 1 MB of memory.
