Microsoft Puffs Its Chest In Response To Google

Yesterday, the net was abuzz with rumours that Google was dropping Microsoft’s Windows in favour of OSX and Linux, claiming security issues. Whether or not the legend is true, Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc has already issued a response, calling the situation ‘ironic’ and claiming that it’s doing ‘a better job’ at security than the others.

When it comes to security, even hackers admit we’re doing a better job making our products more secure than anyone else. And it’s not just the hackers; third party influentials and industry leaders like Cisco tell us regularly that our focus and investment continues to surpass others.

Even hackers admit it! Well, then. LeBlanc goes on to bullet-list ways Microsoft totally rules in security, and points out that as Mac use continues to soar, so will potential security threats. To be honest, as a Mac user, I kinda lie awake at night and worry about that, myself. But hey, if Google thinks it’s the best move for their staff, who am I to give a damn.

I highly recommend you check out the comments of LeBlanc’s post – possibly one of the most entertaining Mac vs PC conflicts I’ve read in a long, long while.

And just when I thought everyone was starting to get along.
