Use free PC software with Google

Google has released a free suite of startup software that makes computers more secure and smooth - a common "generous" gesture from the search giant in an effort to invade the software district.

This software suite is designed to help users install and maintain basic applications more easily, in order to turn computers into a center of information, entertainment and telecommunications in the technology era. new.

With this initiative, Google clearly wants to prove its position, as a "regular sponsor" to support users broadly, to help them exploit their potential and "sleep" of the computer. And even more clearly, this is an indirect blow to the image of other software giants, especially Microsoft - which has always been criticized by users as narrow-minded in helping individual customers.

" Why not make sitting on the computer more interesting, simpler, but still more powerful ?", Said Marissa Mayer, vice president of Google search and user care products. shoulder. In this package, there are up to 6 proprietary programs of Google.

Notably, Google Earth, a 3-dimensional image browser, allows you to "tour" around the globe from satellites, getting close to the street level, searching the map, driving directions, address of hotels, restaurants in the area, etc. Google Desktop, a tool to search for data stored on your computer, covering all emails, files, browsing history, etc. Picasa: photo organizer, photo management software that helps you search, edit and share photos in a snap. Easily fix red eye errors and improve image quality, even if you're an amateur. .

With the exception of Norton's antivirus program, which only allowed 6 months of testing, the rest of the other 7 applications in the "Google Pack" package were released for free on the Internet.

"Market" no one lost money

What Google does, simply create an open "market," which provides all the applications, along with a tool that simplifies installing and updating those programs. Neither Google nor the product lines participating in the "Google Pack" package pay any money to each other.

Of course, the idea of ​​bundling many free software into a package is not new, but obviously, when it comes from an address like Google, it certainly affects its consumers. The bridge will be very big. Moreover, it is gnawing at Microsoft's current strength.

If Google Pack can become popular, software vendors will definitely rank to have their products participate in the next versions - A phenomenon that will help Google have more control. more to the software delivery and distribution system. Even, Forrester Research said that Google could become a "judge" in charge of assassination, deciding which software is good and which software is bad.

But all that is still a story of the future. Right now, the only thing Google expects is to make those personal computers easier to use and more interesting. At that time, people will spend more time on the computer, and Google believes that the company will receive more search requests, resulting in higher profits from advertising. Finally, the stock price and the total value of the company on the stock market will continue to soar in the clouds.

Hoping to stop Google's rapid growth, Microsoft has invested heavily in Internet search engines over the years. Despite that, Google's market share is still growing. urging the company to enter an extended campaign that directly threatens Microsoft. "I can imagine one day, the operating system will be able to store better data through the Internet," said the beautiful woman Mayer.

This Google Pack release includes Adobe Systems' Acrobat Reader, Real Networks music player, Mozilla's Firefox Web browser and Trillian IM program.
