Google has been all over the news recently for various reasons, including their failed attempt at their social network “Buzz”. Through all the mess of Google Media (I should pitch that idea), I finally found something worth being concerned over.

Which computer Operating System is the best? This question always ends up being synonymous with, which OS is more secure? The problem here is these two questions are completely and entirely independent of each other. Let’s look at both in more detail.  Security: This is a multilayer question.

My side - likely scenario, Google will likely leave China. However I also entertain, and hope for, the idea that China may be backed into a corner and lift it’s skirt a bit.
