Get out the spray–Microsoft campus infested with iPods
According to a source for Leander Kahney’s latest Wired News article, Hide Your IPod, Here Comes Bill, more than just a few employees on the Microsoft campus are rocking out like silhouettes in an Apple iPod commercial. Reads the article, “About 80 percent of Microsoft employees who have a portable music player have an iPod…This irks the management team no end.” I don’t see this as a vulnerability in Microsoft’s corporate code, but it will be interesting to see if any measures are taken to ensure that “Softies” adopt a player with WMA support and drop the iPod.

and Ed Bott say this article is crap, so it must be.
