It reflects the position of the world’s biggest search engine that perimeter defence and its respective gadgetry is a dead duck.
It also points to a decision by Google to ditch the popular operating system as a result of the 2009 state-sponsored Operation Aurora attacks.
Google staff now can use Windows PCs only with a business case making the company the world’s biggest Apple shop with 43,000 devices — a thousand more than its total staff count.
