Adobe Bundles Google Toolbar with Shockwave Player
The latest entry on Google’s blog is about how Adobe is distributing the Google toolbar with the Shockwave player for Internet Explorer (screen grab above of the install). Adobe are behind the Flash player that enable video and music on sites like youtube and myspace. Shockwave player usually powers web-based 3D games like this one.
Is Google sweating over the impending release of IE7 that will have a built in search in its toolbar? Probably.

Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
When I was installing Google Earth Beta 4 it asked me to set my default search engine to google. Same if you use GTalk abd other Google products I guess. I’m surprised about this move though, because Adobe pissed me off for years asking me to use Yahoo Search.

I hope you can disable the Search in IE7…. Google all the way, then again my home page is a customised Google search page with Clock, News Items etc etc, so I can use that I guess.
