    Yep. It’s out there in the hands of main stream media now. No, still not in the hands of Microsoft MVPs or even Mobius members. Well, some Mobius members or... Read More

    Wow. Color me impressed. Iam sure 90,000 employees are going to be happy, well at least 80% of them. I am dying to get my hands on one myself. I’ll take one off ebay when they start selling. :)

    So, some tweets are the starters of a major unannounced announcement today. According to Neowin, several Microsoft employees are tweeting the news yesterday…

    @simchabe: Woot. Every single microsoft employee will get a windows phone 7 #mgx #yam #smminds

    @mitchellholder: Every #Microsoft employee will get a Windows Phone 7 …phone. Announced today at #MGX. I’m not even there but I can feel the excitement.

    @ChicagoLori: All Microsoft employees get a free Windows Phone at launch!!!! #MGX

    Gizmodo got their hands on an internal memo from Andy Lees, Senior VP of Mobile that confirms this too:

    “With all the buzz, a lot of you are asking how you can get your hands on a phone and get more involved. So, I am thrilled to announce that a new Windows Phone 7 will be made available to every Microsoft employee as we launch in each market around the world. The process will vary based on your market, your carrier, and your launch date so stay tuned for more information closer to launch.”

    What do you think about that? I think it’s hot for the employees. Will they be required to use it? All the iPhones in Redmond replaced with Windows Phone 7… NICE! I plan to replace my iPhone soon with something, might as well be an OS I want to succeed. If I recall correctly, Apple did this with the iPhone when it initially launched as well.

    • ]]>     There is a ton of critisism all over the net this morning about the 1st in a series of new Microsoft commercials. Are we all this bored. WHO CARES WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT. THE F’ING COMMERCIAL WAS FUNNY. Microsoft doesn’t have to pitch a product, everyone already knows what MS is selling.

     

    Engadget has posted a link to a letter explaining the ad campaign too. It’s got a progression theme.
