    @Brian Richards: Employees getting liquored up around the clock? Well, that explains Disney's connection with Lindsay Lohan.

    Their lawyers probably realized that they'd be sued royally if anyone left the bar and drove home drunk and then killed or injured someone.

    That is one major reason why you rarely see liquor at office parties anymore.

    Somehow, Software_Goddess, I doubt if your legions of male fans think quite the same way.

    What the post doesn't mention is that Microsoft has instead decided to use the space for an Apple retail store so that employees can have a good time AND be around computers.


    /what's that you say... that flaming piece of bait... it's nothing...just a flesh wound.

    That picture screws with my head, his bar is in perspective, but the wall is straight on.

    Well it makes perfect sense once you realize that Moe is actually the "M" in M.C. Escher.

    I wonder what would happen if a Microsoft guy brought a Mac into the pub? Or on campus? I don't want to start a war or anything, but just asking...

    Oh, I'm sure you'd have seen A LOT of Macs in that pub. What with projects and deadlines, even Microsoft guys sometimes need a computer that just works.

    BARTENDER: We don't serve their kind here!


    DEVELOPER: What?


    BARTENDER: Your Macs. They'll have to wait outside. We don't want them here.


    LUKE: Listen, why don't you wait outside. We don't want any trouble, so try not to catch any viruses from those PCs.

    @thatoneguy:

    It's some stupid assumption that the MS staff would be banned from Mac's or something.

    As pointed out MS do make software for OSX, and iPhone too, so MS will have a fair few Mac's lying about, just as Apple make Safari/iTunes/Quicktime for Windows, so they'll have a few copies of Windows lying about.


    It'd be like saying Macdonald's staff can't grab something from Gregg's or Burger King.

    @bosskev:


    That probably explains why there are a bunch of pc's on the Apple campus in cupertino. People need a computer that doesn't work like a toy.


    Don't believe me? Go to the apple campus yourself and take a look.

    @Syndication: My comment was meant to be taken in jest as a mild poke in the ribs, not as a first volley towards a flame war. I would think Microsoft people use primarily PCs (well, other than the MS advertising and design/creation teams who apparently often use Macs) in day-to-day operations.
