I don't remember where though, so would someone like to look into that? This would explain why Skype is now an option in the Google Pack.

Google doesn't have a browser, and sees that it is critical to get its software onto desktops to effectively fend off Microsoft's strength. Google Pack as a strategy hasn't gone very far towards achieving this goal. As a separate tactic, Google has been signing up with all sorts of downloaded software to "sneak" in its toolbar. Firefox, Divx, VNC player, etc. etc. So in this case, it's probably Google trying to get its toolbar installed with Skype, one of the most downloaded piece of Software. The old Skype would have been fine with just accepting money in return. But now part of ebay, they are equally strategic, and therefore asked Google to add Skype to GPack in order numb a potential threat - however small. the question should be asked the other way around – from a Skype perspective.

I'm waiting for a freeware or open source version... I don’t like the Google Pack because it’s too commercial. I’m waiting for a freeware or open source version…

Then again it could be just their idea of getting more people to download the Software Pack. Not many must realizing that you can just get the software by itself!
