Google goes Winless

Google has announced that they are starting to pull the plug on the juse of MSFT Win operation systems.

A Financial Times report late Monday cited “several Google employees,” who say the shift was accelerated by security concerns following the hacking attack that prompted Google to shut down its China site earlier this year. The report says that new hires are given the option of a Mac or Linux-based PC as their company-issued computer. It also quotes some employees who say that uproar at Google over the phase-out of Windows has been far less than it might have been if the company had pulled the plug on Apple products.

With Google only a few months away from introducing their Chrome OS, I guess this is a logical step. Personally I love Ubuntu 10.04 and see no reason to use MSFT products on most computers for most users.
