Google's strategy for selling software over the interent looks set to get unveiled tomorrow. And it looks as though they will initially offer a bundle of utility programs. If these succeed, who knows, we may even see an on-demand office suite by year end!
The Wall Street Journal has reported today that the search firm plans to unveil its Google Pack of software that will include Adobe Reader, Lavasoft's Ad-Aware, RealNetworks' RealPlayer, Symantec anti-virus software and instant messaging software from Trillian. The package will likely include Google's search software and its Picasa image management application, Google Talk IM, and Google mapping software.
Pricing and internet packaging are not entirely clear yet. This looks like an interesting start if just a little unadventurous. I just wonder when Google will serve up real alternatives to Microsoft applications over the internet. Come on guys, the time may even be right.
