Brinke: one year for now...

What kind of software would they include?

   There is a lot of open source software that they could include:
* 7-Zip
* PDF Creator
* Open Office
* Etc.

But until now open source software seems not to be choosen. Why?

Because Google does not get payed for including OOS. I am almost sure Adobe pays in one way (money) or another (Shockwage + Google Toolbar) for being part of the Google Pack.

(btw: http://pack.google.com/product_info.html?gp what is that?)

Maybe Google Pack becomes a good tool for diplomacy?
