iPod Most Popular Music Player on Microsoft Campus

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the along-with-everywhere-else dept.

bblazer writes "Wired is running an article about how despite the displeasure of management, the iPod is the most popular music player on the Microsoft campus. The article states that 80% of those who have digital music players have an iPod. Employees have even started using different headphones to be a bit more stealthy about it."

    Maybe there's a market at Microsoft for iPod HW skins, that make iPods look like their clunkier MS-driven cousins. MS employs over 15,000 people, and $1000 for a mask that lets you keep your MS job could make $millions!

    Definition of a troll:

    Someone who deliberately takes a contrary stance in order to garner satisfaction from the outrage of others.

    On slashdot, a joke about Microsoft's legendary insecurity and unreliability is just that... a joke. Given the audience is well known for its dislike of MS, it is hard to see how it's a deliberately contrary troll. Karmawhoring, perhaps, but not a troll.

    Going on to an extreme Christian discussion forum and stating, "God is great, pagans are bad." would be, at worst, seen as lame and immature - but certainly not trolling as it agrees with the prevailing view of that community.

    Well as long as you people keep on continuing with this elitist attitude, instead of being inclusive and offering viable alternatives, you'll continue to lose elections to people you think are as stupid as Bush.

    If Bush voters are so stupid, then your party of intellectual superiority should have had no problem convincing them of your agenda.
