The Financial Times created quite an uproar in the blogosphere this week after reporting that Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is gradually doing away with its use of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows because of concerns about security. Google’s network was hacked in January via a flaw in Internet Explorer 6, reportedly intensifying the company’s security concerns. According to unnamed Google employees, new workers have a choice of using PCs running Linux or Mac (NASDAQ: AAPL) computers, and those who wish to continue using Windows must get permission from management.
