Dell has recently been in negotiations with Google to form a partnership which would combine technologies from both companies in a mutually beneficial way.

The deal will bundle Google software onto brand new Dell PCs, widening Google's ever-increasing dominance in the search engine market.

The Google/Dell bundle has been reported to include "desktop software, which integrates a number of personal computing applications, a Google tool bar and a co-branded Internet home page." Four months ago, it was reported that Google was considering to pay Dell up to one billion dollars over a three year period for a similar deal. (Source: indiatimes.com)

The agreement between Google and Dell could be quite promising for both companies as the world's number-one PC maker and the Internet's most popular search engine align to market their products.
