Dude, Google’s Got Dell

According to Ben Charny of eWeek’s Google Watch column:
Recent comments by Google execs make it clear that Google views Dell Computers as its secret weapon against chief nemesis Microsoft.In fact, there’s lots of evidence pointing to an important nexis between Google’s recently rebuffed anti-trust allegations about a new Microsoft Web browser and the three-year-long deal Google recently reached with Dell Computers.
The Dell deal will help Google counter Microsoft’s built-in advantage (of having it’s own browser) by making Google the first thing seen by tens of millions of new Dell users. With the partnership, Google gets the same, if not a better, advantage without actually having to go out and build a competitor to Internet Explorer.
