And what happens when someone exploits Linux?

  You have a nice ecosystem of Unix OS's. Solaris, OpenBSD, NetBSD, ... and a handful of major Linux distros: Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Gentoo, Debian, etc. Once you've gone Unix you have lots of choices, including the Mac. Did Google roll their own Linux? Which kernel do you target? which apps?

    It seems reasonable to assume that they'd standardize on a distribution, and centrally manage patching client machines. I cannot imagine that they would expect every employee to concern themselves with such things.

    Google reportedly has a modified version of LTS Ubuntu used internally: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goobuntu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goobuntu
