Google has confirmed that they are testing preinstalled Google software on Dell machines that let Dell users search
their computers for local information.
There are no words as to exactly which Google software they have
installed on Dell machines, but judging from the push lately you can almost be certain that it is the Google Pack. The
Google pack includes Google Earth, Google Desktop, Picasa, Google Talk, Mozilla Firefox, Norton Antivirus, and Adobe
Reader 7.
Having Google as a base setup on over 100 million new Dell’s will bring Google into the
forefront of desktop search applications, and sure to cause a bout with Microsoft.

(Page 1)2. My boss turned over his recently purchased Dell laptop for our IT office to setup for him and it contained Google Desktop pre installed. I do not believe it had any other software from the "pack".
So they mean local to your machine.

1. "..that let Dell users search their computers for local information."
Is this referring to information local to the machine, or geographically local to them (i.e. Google Desktop or Google Local) I wonder
