Google Pack

This post is for all the PC fanboys out there. Google has put together a nice little package of free software that essentially makes paying Microsoft $300.00 + for office obsolete. Its called Google Pack.

Here is the list of apps.

* Google Desktop
* Picasa
* Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer
* Google Photos Screensaver - a screensaver that displays pictures from the user's computers.
* Google Earth
* Google Talk
* Google Video Player (USA only)

Third-party programs

* Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar
* Spyware Doctor Starter Edition
* Norton Security Scan
* Adobe Reader 8
* RealPlayer
* GalleryPlayer
* Skype
* StarOffice
* Norton Antivirus

If google would ever promote some of there offerings with a shinny well directed commercial, the masses might actually figure out there are options in the arena of business applications. Maybe that’s why Bill is stepping down, the kitchen has been warm for a while, now its getting hot.

Adobe next . . . . please
