Google has added a Skype option to its free downloadable software suite, Google Pack.

Skype is the latest addition to a bumper line-up of programs hand-picked and packaged together by Google. The pack also includes Google Earth, Google Desktop, the photo organiser Picasa, Google Toolbar and the Google Pack screensaver, and additional options include the (rather fabulous) Mozilla Firefox browser, Norton Antivirus – and now Skype.
