Despite Chinese Hack, Google Still Uses Microsoft Windows: In the wake of the late 2009 attack on Google's internal systems that saw Chinese hackers pilfer proprietary software code, the rumor was that the search giant had resolved to eliminate the use of Microsoft Windows on employee machines. But two years on, Google CIO Ben Fried tells Wired that Google never banned the use of Windows and that the company continues to offer Windows as one of the options available to new employees.
