It is a security effort,' said one Google employee. ... New hires are now given the option of using Apple's Mac computers or PCs running the Linux operating system. 'Linux is open source and we feel good about it,' said one employee. 'Microsoft we don't feel so good about.' ... Employees wanting to stay on Windows required clearance from 'quite senior levels,' one employee said. 'Getting a new Windows machine now requires CIO approval,' said another employee."''

The whole world runs on Google and business users are using Google in its day-2-day business operations to do what? Google please! Google is not the backbone infrastructure of anything nothing but some maps and a search engine.
