Circle Dock: Free Circular App Launcher for Windows

I have reviewed some interesting App Launchers earlier. We had Launchy that stays hidden till you hit Hotkey, and ObjectDock and RocketDock that bring Mac like toolbar to Windows. Today I found one of the most interesting app launcher: Circle Dock. I say it is most interesting because of the way it organizes your applications – in nicely laid out circles or spirals over your desktop! Check out some screenshots below.
