Google prefers Macs for its employees, not Windows or (its own) Chromebooks

    Google's chairman, Eric Schmidt acknowledged the superiority of Apple's Macs over PCs in a recent thorough guide for moving from iPhone to Android. "Like the people who moved from PCs to Macs and never switched back," Schmidt wrote on Google+. "You will switch from iPhone to Android and never switch back" he says.

 

    Google explained that it's managing a fleet of over 43,000 Macs its employees use, without much help from Apple. Despite developing its own desktop operating system and selling Chrome OS laptops together with various OEMs, Google's computer system of choice is the OS-X running Mac. In fact, it looks like the company imposes Mac use to all employees even though Google also supports additional operating systems including Windows, Linux and Chrome OS. (via The Register)

    "There was a time when Macs were a small part of the Google fleet," Google system engineer Clay Caviness said, "but as of now if you start at Google and want to use a platform other than Mac you have to make a business case."

 What do you guys think about this? I for one agree, as I am an Apple fan.
