Several news sites are reporting that Google is no longer offering Windows as an operating system choice to it’s new employees, and encouraging existing employees to migrate to a different OS. This shouldn’t be a surprise.
Firstly, Google is releasing it’s own operating system later this year, the Linux-based Google Chrome. Secondly, the languages that are most useful to Google Engineers are not the languages that are the easiest to develop with inside Windows.
Windows is hoping that its new mobile operating system will get them a foothold in the lucrative mobile market.
