- DeusExMachina 17y agoRight. I think that one thing is eating your own dog food, another is trying to forbid employees using rival technology (hopelessly, as we can read in this article). I think this pisses off employees and this is the last thing Microsoft can afford right now. The best for them is to use both the iPhone and some Microsoft phone to take note of the differences and help improve the latter.
