That’s it. The last straw. I’m putting my Zune on eBay and investing in a Creative ZEN X-Fi2 64 bit.

I mean, you should have gone with the creative in the first place

Do you expect companies to never lay anyone off?

I expect them to give shareholders and directors a haircut before laying off workers, yes.

But we know Microsoft never does that, so they can go f themselves.

None of these corpo fucks do. Fire people then raise the CEOs salary a few dozen million

Doesn't Amazon layoff 3-6% every year as a minimum?
