Google Reportedly Swears Off Windows
The search giant has been removing all Windows computers out of security concerns

Google is reportedly ripping out whatever Windows desktop infrastructure it had at its Googleplex headquarters because of the IP-stealing hack it suffered late last year that caused it to move out of Red China proper and set up an uncensored Chinese search shop in Hong Kong.

The Financial Times says several Google employees told it the Googleplex has been removing all Windows computers out of security concerns, replacing them on employees’ desks with Apple (mostly) and Linux widgets. Only those with CIO approval can reportedly get a Windows machine.

The move of course reinforces Google’s attempt to invade the office with its own cloud-based productivity software and not-quite-ready-for-prime-time Chrome operating system, which may be as big an impetus as security.
