According to this ComputerWorld article:
"Dell will factory-install the Google desktop, toolbar, search engine
and home page on desktops and notebooks shipping to consumers and
small and medium-size businesses worldwide, said Dell spokesman Jess
Blackburn."
The MSU position is still that Google Desktop isn't allowed on any
machine with sensitive data, right? And since sensitive data
includes student numbers, that probably means not allowed on any
faculty/staff computer.

heads-up on that, Chris!)
