A Windows Phone 7 For Every Microsoftie 298
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."

I could be worse - it could be made out of KINs instead of next of kins.
Hot new item @ microsoft - cases that make your iPhone look like a WP7 phone - complete with BSOD screen-saver.

Employee: "I wish - blue-screened again!"

But I will never ever use IE again. I even get a little sick when I have to use IE to update XP.
At one point, I memorized an FTP address for Mozilla so I wouldn't have to load IE to download Firefox on new installations.

Uhh... That's nonsense. MS may be a shitty company to the rest of the world, but to their employees, they're pretty damn good. Dunno where you got that vending machine claim, but I suggest you stick it back from whence it came.
