Google Pack changes

Recently noticed that Google Pack does not contain following software any more:
  • Ad-Aware
  • Adobe Reader (renamed)
  • Symantec Anti Virus
  • FireFox (why?)
But it still includes some of the third party software such:
  • Real Player
  • Skype (Isn't Skype competing against google in some or other way? may be it is on acquisition list)
Do not know why!!!!

IE7 and Browser Wars

Well, Microsoft says that IE7 reached 100 Million Installations. I am not sure how they track it. But it has confirmed dominance of Firefox for sure. Just for record, you could check browser stats published by http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp (not updated till december yet).
e.g.
IE7 went from 3.1% to 7.1% in November, an increase of 4%.
IE6 went from 54.5% to 49.9%, that is decrease of 4.6%. Assuming that 4% of IE7 increase came from IE6 upgrades, .6% of the users went to some other browser.
Compare that to Firefox, which had its share going up from 28.8% to 29.9%, that is an increase of 1.1% (Which appears to have happend thru that .6% and from few other browsers too).
