Google Ditching Windows?

The Financial Times, citing anonymous Google employees, claims that the search giant is phasing out the use of Windows. I find that a little hard to swallow, at least until the company’s Chrome OS is ready for prime time, but you never know.

The directive to move to other operating systems began in earnest in January, after Google’s Chinese operations were hacked, and could effectively end the use of Windows at Google, which employs more than 10,000 workers internationally. "We’re not doing any more Windows. It is a security effort," said one Google employee.
