When I visited the Apple Store here in Orlando Florida Mall, I noticed that all the iMacs had a new kind of application... a launcher-dock-kind of application that is always on the center of the display and has a few application that you can access just clicking on the icons... is that a Mac OS X feature or a third party application? I love the way it works, maybe its something just for demo porpuses, but I think that someone got it running on their Macs... anyone knows what I'm talking about?

if you know, please tell me what it is!
thanx

We all know what you're talking about. It's a custom app solely for the Apple stores.

Some NN'ers are not helpful. I know what you mean and you can download http://homepage.mac.com/jonn8/docktop/

Apple (Command) Tab will let you do something similar.
