Microsoft hits back after claims that Google has stopped using Windows
IT started with a report that web giant Google had decided to give up using Microsoft Windows for security reasons.
New staff at the web giant were told they could only use Linux or Mac OS on their computers, several employees told the Financial Times. "We're not doing any more Windows. It is a security effort," one worker said.
Now it's turned into something of a spectacle, after Microsoft hit back with a bit of good old tit-for-tat. "There's been some coverage overnight about the security of Windows and whether or not one particular company is reducing its use of Windows," said Brandon LeBlanc on The Windows Blog.
