Microsoft Barring Certain Staff From Buying Macs, iPads?

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday March 21, 2012 @06:34AM from the no-apple-for-you dept.

mr100percent writes "Microsoft has reportedly moved to prohibit employees in its Sales, Marketing, Services, IT, and Operations Group (SMSG) from using company funds to purchase any products produced by Apple. The company had already barred staffers from using expense allocations for competing smartphone platforms, however the new guidelines explicitly note that Macs and iPads have been added to the list. 'Within SMSG we are putting in place a new policy that says that Apple products (Mac & iPad) should not be purchased with company funds,' an alleged letter distributed to staff reads."

They're just letting us know that MS wants its own employees to use the best possible tech available.

It is not just Apple. I was not allowed to buy a Learjet last week.
