Google Bans Employees Using Windows

Internet giant Google prohibits all employees using the operating system (OS), Windows from Microsoft. The ban was issued for security reasons.
Instead, more than 10,000 Google employees are required to switch to Apple's OSX, Linux, and of course Chrome which was launched to challenge Windows.
This step is still associated with attacks that hit Google China late last year. Where at the time, Gmail accounts owned by the activists of Human Rights (Human Rights) and 20 important companies in China successfully burglarized hackers. For information, the hackers managed to break-ins due to weakness in Internet Explorer - Microsoft used the victim's browser.
"We no longer use Windows. It deals with security issues, "said one Google employee who is unnamed, dikutipdetikINET from the Telegraph on Wednesday (02/06/2010).
"Many people have switched from Windows to Mac computer, after the action of hacking that hit Google China," said another officer, to strengthen his statement.
Google does not play in implementing this policy. To the point, the officials who still want to use Windows, must obtain permission from senior officials in their offices.
