If you've not downloaded the newest free software bundle from
Google yet, then you've gotta read this...
This package includes the latest powerful tools with countless
features that will benefit you in a number of ways. There's
text, photo, music, and video applications, programs that
address security issues, and things to assist you in exploring
the web. There's handy desktop applications and other useful,
timesaving goodies. A couple of these programs have potential
limited only by your imagination. This is a great collection for
anyone, whether you're building websites, doing research, or
just surfing the web, and, best of all, it's completely
free!
Here's what's included...

Google Pack requires Windows XP and either Firefox 1.0+ or
Internet Explorer 6.0+, although some of the individual programs
will work on older versions. The download process is easy and
user-friendly. It allows you to pick only the software that you
want, and if you already have any of the programs installed, it
will check the version and will only be updated if the Google
Pack includes a newer version. You'll also get updates about new
software with Google Updater.
