“As everyone knows by now who follows technology news,
the Financial Times reported that Google “is phasing out the
internal use of Microsoft’s ubiquitous Windows operating system
because of security concerns.” Some doubt this story, because they
say that’s its vague about sources. Well, I asked, and the story is
‘mostly’ right. Google is switching away from Windows to Linux and
Macs, but it’s not just because security.“I e-mailed Google and, according to a Google official, while
“We’re always working to improve the efficiency of our business,
but we don’t comment on specific operational matters.” That’s not
much of a statement, but did you notice the key word there? It’s
‘efficiency.'”
