NEW YORK: Google Inc and Dell Inc have reached an agreement for the No. 1 personal computer maker to factory install a package of Google software on its systems, Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said on Thursday, shoring up a test-run between the two companies.
In a potential blow to Microsoft Corp, Google will incorporate its desktop software, which integrates a number of personal computing applications, a Google tool bar and a co-branded Internet homepage on Dell computers, a person familiar with the matter said.
