Looks like Google has finally reached the point which most of us were at least 
five or ten years ago.....

"  Google is phasing out the internal use of Microsoft’s ubiquitous Windows 
operating system because of security concerns, according to several Google 
employees.  The directive to move to other operating systems began in earnest 
in January, after Google’s Chinese operations were hacked, and could 
effectively end the use of Windows at Google, which employs more than 10,000 
workers internationally. "
