Google issued a semi-formal statement today to address this. They didn't confirm or deny it, but did leave a bit of a question mark in the air I suppose.



This whole thing smells fishy to me. Something isn't adding up somewhere.
I don't see what's fishy here. What's happening here is probably PR covering for them because an outright statement that they are dropping windows because they don't trust it's security is a libel issue that could harm business relationships or just be a legal headache given their position in the market.

If you read between the lines you can probably guess that they've been moving their own platforms for years anyway and this is just the latest step in weaning people away from Microsoft anyway. It's sort of like Steve Jobs saying this and that about Flash when he really just wants to wean people away from it also for the benefit of his own business as well.
