A Windows Phone 7 For Every Microsoftie

theodp writes "So, how can Microsoft guarantee its Windows Phone 7 devices will enjoy broader adoption than the ill-fated Kin? By giving every Microsoft employee a free one, that's how. A Microsoft spokesman confirmed the move, explaining that the idea is to thank employees for all their work, and make sure that they have experience with Windows Phone 7 devices. Microsoft has nearly 90,000 employees worldwide."

  1. Zune integration isn't a bad thing. by LWATCDR · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Frankly Microsoft's Zune Pass is really cool. The Zune HD is also a really nice device.
    With the Zune Pass for $15 a month you get all the music you want.
    You can then download $10 DRM free songs each month.
    Not a bad deal at all. If I just wanted a music player I would really be tempted to get a Zune.
    I wish that they offered it for my Android phone.

    Yes I do not have a lot of hope for WinMo7 or WinPho7 or what ever they are calling it but in a way that is really too bad.
    They have some good ideas and can produce good stuff.
