Hide Your iPod, Here Comes Bill

"About 80 percent of Microsoft employees who have a portable music player have an iPod." This according to an anonymous Microsoft executive, says Wired, in an article called, "Hide your iPod, here comes Bill". It seems that Microsoft employees want to be cool, too. Or, at the very least, to own well designed products that work.

Management is apparently up in arms about this. I guess you can understand that, given we're talking about Microsoft. It would be so much cooler if they just acknowledged that the iPod is a desirable, best in class product. But of course they can't do that.
