Search-giant Google (NSADAQ: GOOG) recently made the decision to move away from using Windows on the company’s computers over security concerns and began moving company employees over to Mac and Linux OSes.
Microsoft did not take the news lightly. The company’s Windows-product communication manager Brandon LeBlanc fired back with a blog post on the “Blogging Windows” site, suggesting that it was “a good opportunity to set the record straight.”
LeBlanc said that, “When it comes to security, even hackers admit we’re doing a better job making our products more secure than anyone else. And it’s not just the hackers; third party influentials and industry leaders like Cisco tell us regularly that our focus and investment continues to surpass others.”
“Microsoft makes the security of our customers a huge priority,” LeBlanc wrote. He said that Microsoft offers software updates, disc encryption, automatic updates, and parental controls.
