Microsoft Fires Back At Google Move Of Dropping Windows
Even though there hasn't been official word from Google about their dropping Windows in favor of Macs, Microsoft still had some subtle words to issue about the news, according to CNET.As mentioned earlier, word came out about Google starting to phase out Windows PCs from their internal networks because of potential security issues, which are related to the attacks that occurred within its infrastructure last year. While Google has offered up nothing about having opted out of Windows PCs, Microsoft aimed to squelch out any claims by defending the security that Windows offers, saying it aided in derailing a Gmail deployment within Yale University."When it comes to security, even hackers admit we're doing a better job making our products more secure that anyone else. And it's not just the hackers; third party influentials [sic] and industry leaders like Cisco tell us regularly that our focus and investment continues to surpass others," Microsoft noted in its blog.Of course Microsoft doesn't mention Google particularly in the blog, but mentions "whether or not one particular company is reducing its use of Windows." Of course Google wasn't alone in receiving jabs. Microsoft also threw a punch at Apple, highlighting reports on Tuesdays in regard to spyware that had been targeting Mac OS X machines that are being downloaded within various free applications.Image courtesy of siliconvalleywatcher.com
