Alright, so you've got your HDTV, surround sound, and digital cable all ready to go; now all that's missing is a high-def player to enjoy your favorite flicks.

AppScout: RocketDock Brings Mac OS Dock to Windows PCs
Love it or hate it, the Mac OS dock is a great way to open commonly used applications, shortcuts, documents, and other files. And in Windows, there's nothing similar by default.
