Just ripped Dell rep a new one...
How dare Dell leave me with unsupported music players. The entire *pod* culture is banned here, nobody is allowed to use them at all. Notebooks are scanned for iTunes and other assorted Apple malware. We relied on Dell for our enterprise music player needs. I told my Dell rep that nobody pulls products out from under our feet like this. My Microsoft rep then got on the phone and threatened Dell with all kinds of licensing taxes if they continue to cave into Apple's iPod market position. We both then blamed Dell for letting Apple take over the music player space and told them to go hire some good marketing people. My rep and I are going out for coffee and scones and will decide where I should turn for my music player needs.
