Google Switches

Windows ban graphicI don't make a big deal out of it, but I'm a huge Apple fan. I switched from Microsoft Windows to Mac OSX about six years ago, mainly for better security. After I switched, however, I discovered that OSX actually works, it's a joy to use, and that my machines only very, very rarely crash. Almost never. A totally different experience than with Windows. Occasionally there's some software that you might want that you can't use with OSX but, for me anyhow, that's not an important issue. Apple is light-years ahead of Microsoft. If you're still using Windows, I unreservedly recommend switching. And here's one more solid reason to consider in deciding whether you should: According to the Financial Times, Google is ditching Windows over security concerns. That's news!

Google switching out its Windows desktops in-house may partly be a security move, but it's also partly a business decision to stop using rival products.

Google has been very much a Microsoft competitor for years now — MS and Google clash head to head in search, web browsers and business applications. And on the mobile side Google's Android is tearing chunks out of Windows Mobile (and threatening iPhone too...).
