just getting back into this blogging lark and catching up on RSS feeds, what happened at CES which I missed this year so no doubt am well out of date here but just used and installed Google Pack and this is one fine example of why Google are getting so good and are a threat to so many others, not that this is a bad thing of course.
It's slick, simple, does what you want, maybe not all the software there is what you want but it's a damn fine selection if you ask me, I like the way it only updates, smart download with resume, multiple item queue, you name it, basically I think it's very good and I know it's the same sort of principle as Windows Update or the IBM Thinkpad updater but they just do things so much better !
