Hide Your IPod, Here Comes Bill
(via WebWord) [A] source estimated 80 percent of Microsoft employees have a music player -- that translates to 16,000 iPod users among the 25,000 who work at or near Microsoft's corporate campus. "This irks the management team no end," said the source. So popular is the iPod, executives are increasingly sending out memos frowning on its use...
As for hiding his own iPod use, the manager said he flaunts his iPod, despite the constant comments -- and occasional arguments -- it prompts.
"I don't really care if it pisses them off," he said. "I'll argue why they're doing it wrong. If you want me to stop using it, give me a product that works and is as easy to use."

I am a Microsoft employee and I think this is only marginally true. The stats the "source" quotes are not official in any way and may be more or less depending on departments. There are plenty of iPod users here, but also plenty of other devices in use.
