And you are correct.
I remember back in the day (2005) reading about MS employees hiding their ipods when they were on campus:

And then Steve killed everybody's buzz by banning Apple products entirely:

- ebf 14y agoThe article states that company money cannot be used to purchase Apple products, not that Apple products are banned entirely. I know plenty of people that use iPhones on campus.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoWhich is also bogus. There are plenty of exceptions (otherwise, how the heck does Microsoft develop Mac Office?).
- wingspan 14y agoIn some orgs it is actually relatively easy for a PM to get a MacBook Air, for instance. You don't even need a bulletproof justification. Although with the new crop of ultrabooks, the MacBook Air is no longer so unique, so it may be more difficult.
- farnsworth 14y agoDefinitely still bogus. They have to test webapps on iPads somehow.
- InclinedPlane 14y agoApple products are not banned at MS, that's BS, in most parts of the company the most popular phone is the iPhone.
