Page Bringing Google Pack, Videos To CES

The keynote by Google co-founder Larry Page at CES 2006 will unveil video purchase options and a new downloadable software pack from the company. Partnerships with the NBA and CBS form the center of the pending keynote address by Page in Las Vegas. On Friday, video download purchasing and a bundle of software from Google should be the major points in Page's talk, the Wall Street Journal Symantec complained to the European Union in October 2005 when details about Microsoft's Client Protection package emerged. Microsoft plans to make Client Protection, including antivirus and antispyware technology, part of the Windows Vista operating system. A Symantec spokesperson expressed concerns about a "level playing field" as part of the company's statement regarding the complaint. Being part of a freely available Google Pack via download or as a preinstalled option on new PCs would appear to negate Symantec's argument.
