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.

    I don't understand! Shouldn't any respectable /. user run Linux?

    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.
