Wow big day for the customer today. We lost some competition with Yahoo! and eBay partnering (possibly) but the day definitely ended with a bang when Google announced its partnership with Dell bringing choice back to the desktop. The partnership requires Dell to begin shipping PCs with Google software pre-installed and set as default. For this Dell likely gets a portion of the search revenue generated from Google but also a co-branded site.
I know Google is growing in might and could one day rival Microsoft but win or lose I just like having a choice again.
“Google and Dell have agreed to a first in a series of deals to preinstall Web and desktop search software on the PC maker’s computers, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said Thursday.”
