Dell recently has started including a Dock with their computers. No I'm not just going to sit here, point at it and laugh. I'm not just going to say, "Dell ripped Apple, hur hur hur!". However, we have come a long way from Apple sending a ceast and desist order to Moby of Mobydock to Dell including a dock with their computers. ( Details Inside... )

So what do I think of it? Eh, it's just another bundled piece of software that the end user may or may not use. Like I said before the knee jerk reaction would be to just proclaim it an Apple rip. However lots of people had already done it. So it seems it's now fair game. Also face it, not everyone wants a Mac but they may like certain things like the dock. Some people may think it detracts from the Mac experience if others had a dock but I don't agree.

It reminds me of kids on the playground and one getting upset because they think little Johnny owning a fire truck toy means one less fire truck toy for them. So they get upset. There's enough toys, fire truck or otherwise for everyone. ;)
