Google: No More Windows for Employees

Windows security is always a question mark for the users, analysts and developers out there, and of course for Microsoft as well. In recent past analysts have criticized Microsoft about the security of its operating system.

Here is a recent news that Google ordered their employees to stay away from Windows for some security concerns, FT reports that Google decided to phase away from Windows just because of security reasons.

I think Google made a wise decision, because IE6 was used to hack Google, in case if you missed the Google hacking incident then let me tell you that Chinese hackers used IE6 to hack Google, IE6 is an integral part of Windows XP.

Now Google has chosen Mac and Linux as an alternate to Windows, which can prove quite handy. Linux and Mac are more known for their great security, personally speaking! I haven’t seen any virus on Linux or Mac. If you have seen then share it. Anyways! Now what? Microsoft should ponder over their security issues. We heard about Windows 7′s security but it is still not good enough to compete Mac or Linux.

To summarize it, Windows is pathetic for its security, Google made a wise and right decision to switch to Mac and Linux.
