What is the purpose of docks (e.g. the Apple or Vista one, ObjectDock etc.) on the desktop?

Asked by Foxx (59points) April 2nd, 2010

By dock I mean the the bar with a line of shortcuts, usually located at the top or bottom of a desktop.

What do these docks accomplish? What are the advantages? Disadvantages? Is there a good reason to have program shortcuts on a dock instead of directly on the desktop?
