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."

    IPod (iPod?) is _the_ most popular mp3 player, why not on MS campus? Does MS even make a mp3 player? /slow news day, eh?

    A 40Gb writable device that easily attaches to one's computer.

    Yeah, but Microsoft knows that all of their PCs run Windows and hence will never stay up long enough to write that kind of data anyway.

    Security through ineptitude. It's the new rage.

    You read wrong.
    I did, did I? Open the review in l'Ordinateur Individuel (Fevrier 2005) and tell me what it says.

    And who else besides Apple uses it? Right. If something is essentially only licensed to one huge company, it's under their control (they can use their buying power to sway future versions of the layer).
