What an interesting lens you see the world through. Was it desperate and tacky when Apple gave all their employees free iPhones, or was that a magical maneuver by Steve Jobs?
Maybe the world is somewhere in between. Maybe it's a good thing for an employer to do: makes employees happy, gets a large user and developer base right out the gate, employees are more likely to evangelize a product and give it a shot than the average consumer, etc.
- theBobMcCormick 16y agoIt's the reality distortion field? :-) It'd be tacky if Microsoft was requiring or even pressuring employees to buy Windows 7 phones. Giving them away seems like a pretty nice perk for employess, and a good opportunity for MS to "eat their own dog food". If every employee has one, campus gossip should give you a pretty good idea what stuff users really like and what stuff they don't.
