Except for directX 11. Yeah I’m a gamer. but even then there aren’t many games that take advantage of DX10 even...but we have to push the technology along or we’ll be stuck with DX9.

Well according to this...http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2007/06/02/do-google-employees-use-windows.aspx

It looks like google encourages Mac OSX and pretty much everything not microsoft. I wonder if this is one of those in the wild exploits the OSX guys deny exist.


Keith, A former colleague of mine has not long joined Google. On Day 1 he was asked the following questions:

1) Would you like a MAC or PC? Given he’d spent 8 years at MSFT and had no idea how to use a MAC he obviously opted for the PC. Needless to say there were a few raised eyebrows.

2) MS Office or OpenOffice? Unsurprisingly he chose Office having never used OO. Again more frowns.

3) IE of Firefox? Having never used FF he chose IE and was told tough he’d need to get used to it.

It’s available but actively discouraged.

Having worked in/with sysadmins in a corporate environment, one of my strongest reasons for pushing Unix or Macs to the desktop was to prevent the use of PC’s for games.
