aren’t dell putting firefox on their machines over here already?
My parents bought a Compaq not long ago, and it came with Netscape 8(!) preloaded. Very strange!
Someone on Slashdot posted the complete list of software which did include Firefox + Google toolbar extension. Afaik it looks like everything from Google Pack is included.
My sister got a consumer-grade laptop off Dell a little while ago, and that came with Firefox.
I was relatively impressed, but it wasn’t tremendously up-to-date as I recall. That’s probably not a problem now with the automatic update system, but this was v1.0.2 or something.
I think that Slashdot comment was just the list of things in Google Pack, followed by some out-loud wondering as to how much of that would be pre-loaded.
