Google Unveils The Google Pack

Posted by Zonk on from the i-think-we-already-run-with-that-pack dept.

7hunderstruck writes "Google yesterday announced the release of Google Pack, a 'free collection of essential software'. Along with Google's own programs, such as Google Toolbar and Google Earth, Google Pack contains Firefox, Adobe Reader, a six month subscription to Norton Antivirus, and Trillian as well as other apps. Any respectable /. user should have most of this suite installed already (excluding a few things), but it will be nice to make it all widely available to the general public." Commentary on ZDNet.

    What is this "Windows XP"?

    Is that some other software that Google provides? Is it some "free software" that I haven't heard about?

    I need to be able to audit, compile and patch the source -- anything else is aginst my security policy.
