Google Pack is an example of that. Even better would be preinstalls on new computers. There are many rumors that Dell will do this. FWIW there was (is, waiting to be judged) a <a href="http://ideafutures.com/fx-bin/Claim?claim=IEdrop" rel="nofollow">Foresight Exchange claim about IE market share</a> last year. Unfortunately its possible trading range (mapped to IE share -- 80 to 90 percent) was very narrow, so although the trading price swung wildly, mapped to IE share it was never far from the final result. I don't think anything can be said about the market's success or lack thereof in this case. Certainly bundling will take Firefox adoption to the next level. Google Pack is an example of that.

Thanks for the link. 9% is not bad, but they got 3/4 of that growth during the first half of the year 2005. Mike L., do you think that Google will help popularizing FireFox? http://pack.google.com/ CFM “Firefox is the exciting platform for web development, but barely made a dent in Internet Explorer’s market share.”
