Google has taken an extreme step by banning employees from using Microsoft Windows OS. This may seem small but if you ask me it’s absolutely huge. That Google would take the extreme measures of actually banning the world most popular operating systems must be seen as a sign of bad things in the future for Microsoft.
With the availability of alternative operating systems such as Linux and even Chrome we are certain to see an ever increasing number of major players making the switch to safer more secure platforms. Microsoft has recently announced a major shakeup in their Entertainment and Devices Division with Robbie back and crew soon to be filing for unemployment benefits because of the massive failure of the Zune and Kin devices.
Who do you think will be the next major tech company to ban the use of Windows Operating System? Will anyone care if Windows just died?
LONDON (Reuters) – Web search group Google Inc is phasing out internal use of rival Microsoft Corp’s Windows operating system because of security concerns following a Chinese hacking incident, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Citing several Google employees, the FT said the decision to move to other operating systems including Apple Inc’s Mac OS and open-source Linux began in earnest in January after Google’s Chinese operations were hacked.
