If you haven’t heard of it, make sure you visit http://pack.google.com, for downloading a list of software provided by Google from Norton Antivirus 2005 SE, Firefox with Google Toolbar, Google Earth etc for free. The downloads do take some time here in Australia, don’t know the speed in USA. It is a worthwhile option from Google to provide much needed software and from third party sources like Symantec and Firefox too.
One thing about the free Adobe Reader 7.0, the claim is that it opens pdf files 50% faster than the previous version, I have tested it, and it does open files faster. I did not time it to count the 50% speedup, but it maybe true empirically.

Prabhu – thanks for visiting my blog. I had a small incident with Norton AV, because I already had a previous version installed. Apart from that, no problems whatsoever.
