Microsoft has set its sight for Apple and the iPod family with its own media player Zune, but to take down such a huge actor you need high morale and motivation among your employees, except from Microsoft’s huge budget. This is believed to be the reason for the odd discovery in Microsoft’s Zune department; a transparent trash bin called “iPod Amnesty Bin” where Zune employees can throw their iPods and get a Zune for free. According to both analysts and common sense this is just an internal joke, but thanks to a prior MSNBC.com employee we have a picture of the Zune office’s iPod trash bin.
Apple has no comment, while a Microsoft spokesman, without having received any information from the Zune department, said that it was just a joke, or just a mean to boost morale.
