Description
GDS is offered on 32-bit Vista, and we currently attempt to install
it.  The only problem is that it fails silently.  If I run the GDS
installer manually in GUI mode, it gives the error "Cannot get available
disk space for drive C:/"  So we should either turn off the GDS offer,
or ask Google for a new binary.

Comments
EVALUATION We either need to turn off on Vista, or get Google to give us new binaries.
