A Google Desktop on every Dell

This is a story that seems to be largely buried in the business section...
In case you haven't seen it, Google and Dell announced a deal yesterday that
will see Google Desktop pre-installed on every Dell machine. Thus, the
millions of well-meaning if uninformed consumers who buy Dells will have
their every online move tracked and indexed by Google, unless they realize
they ought to shut the application off. Unsurprisingly, the reports on the
deal focus on the marketing implications vis a vis Microsoft, and not on the
privacy concerns.

Reuters' report is here:

Hope everyone is having a great summer thus far.
