Well it makes sense, given that Google is predominantly a linux-based company.
But it's a fallacy to equate "cutting edge" with "not Windows". Windows may not be as fashionable in the same way that Macs are with the Starbucks/college campus crowd, but it's certainly no less "cutting edge" a desktop operating system than OS X or Linux.
- evo_9 15y agoTo me, leadership and overall direction indicates how cutting edge a company is; thinking about Apple, Google and Microsoft in these terms, and I think it's an apt statement.
- Niten 15y agoI think you're being too loose with language here. The implication was that Google doesn't use Windows because Google is cutting-edge; this is a claim about the technical merits of Windows, not the direction of Microsoft's leadership.
