Google Toolbar to be bundled with Adobe Shockwave Player

SearchEngineJournal is reporting that Google has stuck a deal with Adobe to have Google Toolbar bundled with every install of Shockwave Player for Windows, and bundling with other Adobe products will begin in the near future. Adobe says that this won't affect the bundling that it's already doing with Yahoo! Toolbar, which presumably means when you install Shockwave Player you'll be given the option to install either, both, or neither. Google has been distributing (a Yahoo! Toolbar-less) Adobe Acrobat Reader since January, but apparently the Google Toolbar bundling is an unrelated financial deal.
