Google released a “Google Pack” a while back and I immediate turned a few of my friends to it. But I recently decided to check out what they had updated (since they started an advertising program for it). Well it looks like they cleaned up the auto updating program and added a number of new programs which can be selectively chosen for install.
Google Pack is:
