    What we have there is the basic install on their comps. Add on os with wireless networking, and media management capabilities prob a *nix (BSD would be a good option) and we have mostly a branding exercise for google to release a computer.

    Yea, in fact a very useful bundle. Nothing special but it ain't meant for the hardcore users is it? Would've been nice to see them putting a good anti-virus tool in the package though.
