Microsoft management frustrated by iPods on campus
Microsoft's management is becoming more and more frustrated by the 
growing predominance of the iPod on its Redmond campus. Wired News says 
that the growing number of iPods on Microsoft's main campus: "To the 
growing frustration and annoyance of Microsoft's management, Apple 
Computer's iPod is wildly popular among Microsoft's workers. 'About 80 
percent of Microsoft employees who have a portable music player have an 
iPod,' said one source, a high-level manager who asked to remain 
anonymous. 'It's pretty staggering.' The source estimated 80 percent of 
Microsoft employees have a music player -- that translates to 16,000 
iPod users among the 25,000 who work at or near Microsoft's corporate 
campus. So popular is the iPod, executives are increasingly sending out 
memos frowning on its use."
