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.

Links below. I left in the SAV article link too.  (Thanks for the  
heads-up on that, Chris!)
