Google Toolbar along with Sun Java Updates?
Did anybody notice recently that when Java is getting automatically updated on their system one is also getting the option of downloading Google Toolbar? This implies Sun is bundling Google Toolbar with Java Installer even though it comes as an option.
To me it doesn't seem to be a right move to offer additional software along with automatic updates even if it is given as an option. After all not everybody would like Google to spy on them at the end of the day?

With Google’s acquisition of DoubleClick it’s clear that the more data they have the better, so I’m not surprised at these tactics. Google are obviously working to spread the toolbar far and wide.
