Me too, but a lot of people would rather not have the bother.

Here's your software bundle for the machine
http://pack.google.com/

I thought it'd be a great download for anyone needing some of the basics (like free virus and a better browser) but it looks like symantec stupid'ed out and removed the really useful features from this 'special version' of the browser, like anti-worm, anti-spyware and so forth.

Great idea Symantec...people will try this, get hit with a worm or a piece of spyware and jump to the conclusion that your product sucks by the time the six month free trial expires. But hey, five of the people installing the product decided at install time to pony up $30 for the full banana, and that makes up for it.
