Google has continued on its acquisition blitzkrieg that Google has acquired Mountain View neighbor GreenBorder for an undisclosed sum.

GreenBorder launched in 2001 with “Desktop DMZ” software for Windows that prevents any viruses, trojans or spyware from being installed during any browser session. GreenBorder keeps all browsing activity system independent from Windows and free for deletion without system compromise.
GreenBorder operates as a signature-less approach that never needs updating and provides continuous protection against issues with a presence literally indicated by a green border around a web browser.
The purchase may indicate a renewed focus by Google on desktop applications. GreenBorder provides an anti-virus platform that combined with Google Desktop would deliver a more compelling download and strength Google’s position as a desktop applications competitor to Microsoft.

What do you guyz have an opinion on this?

Interesting... seems Google is buying everyone and everything at the moment.

Yes, but it is when they start believing that they are so big or so great that you start seeing alot of things go wrong. Hopefully this don't happen to them.

[FourBear]

They certainly have the funds to do so. Yet, I really enjoy having all those resources in one convenient palce.

[Rohitpatel]

That is really great news for us because Google's service is best.

This concerns me, and not in a good way. It's like Walmart becoming the only shopping choice for 2,000 miles. Ever since Google gave up information to China, I have felt uneasy about their growth.

[tater03]

I agree with you Sagemother that is exactly the way that I feel. It almost feels like a monoply anymore.
