this is the best pack ever!!! i just got it and downloaded norton and google desktop. this is really good for people who just got a new cmputer and need to set up their internet stuff.

Wow. I didn't expect Google to come out with a gift basket this large. Most of the stuff are free from the originals sites anyways. lol. I wonder if GOogle made some kind of agreement to like put tracking software in those programs. You never know. GOogle is going to take over the world of technology. GOogle OS here they come! lol.

They've really outdone themselves. I tried out the firefox browser with the google toolbar. Its okay. Firefox is sorta slow but i can get around that. anyways. THe norton antivirus sounds cool. I don't know if i should ge tit.

WOW, this is super cool. I'm particularly interested in that Noirton Anitivius that comes with it LOLZ

Hey I didn't know about this! Free antivirus

Yeah this was one the google desktop when they first announced it about a week or so ago. I immediately downloaded it becuase almost everything google creates rocks. I did actually not include a few pieces of software because i either already had them or i just had a piece of software that was more powerful like adobe elements instead of picasa. However, it saw that i had them and will update some like trillian and norton even though i didnt download their version of it. It really rocks

I use Google Pack.

Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar...already got that a long time ago (points to nickname)
Adobe Reader - have that
Picasa...downloaded it
RealPlayer...no need for it, got iTunes.
Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition...downloaded it
Google Video/Talk....no need for it
Norton AntiVirus...already have Shaw Secure.

Google Desktop/Earth...already had that.

Overall, the Google Pack is only useful to update the products. It can't download anything on my computer, don't know why.

Before I give my opinion on Google's Pack, I must state one thing: being a limited user (in other words, not being an administrator in Windows) stinks!
But if I did have admin rights on this machine, I would run it for Google Talk (which I think updates itself anyway), Picasa, Google Earth (just to get the latest version, I already have it, great program), Google Desktop (although I may never use it), and one or two other things. Google is great at giving out software, especially since it's mostly free.

I think google should make its own browser rather than promoting mozilla just because its not IE.

Do people really need all this stuff that's in the pack?
