Google Software Pack
Posted by ucdlibrary on August 16, 2007
Google is no longer happy just to find the answers to any question that you might have. It now has interests in video, photos, blogging, 3d Modelling, geography and email. To help people it also offers a free software pack which in their words is to help you ‘Get the most out of your PC’.
The pack gathers some of the usual suspects in free software, such as Adobe Reader, Google Earth and skype, but also includes a fully functional Microsoft Office alternative in StarOffice.
Most of these you can find freely available on the web, but its nice to have them all collected together in one place. Google recommends that you have broadband if you are going to install starOffice.
