"These guys are really quite scared," said the source of Microsoft's management. "It shows how their backs are against the wall.... Even though it's Microsoft, no one is interested in what we have to offer, even our own employees."

Aren't employees at certain games publishers banned from taking an ipod into work? (Because you could horde a disc image on it and get it out the building.)

So what's Microsoft's MP3 player that they should all have instead? I don't get this article.

Well, there isn't one. But "loyal" employees would be using any player that can play both regular and DRM'd WMA files.

But screw that, you know? The reason the iPod is popular is because it's a seamless integration of hardware and software, even on Windows. It's also small, and has a killer UI within the player itself.
