Microsoft doesn't like workers photographing deliveries of Macs

A blogger who posted an "Even Microsoft wants G5s" story with a picture of palettes of dual G5 Macs being unloaded at Microsoft was later told "you're no longer welcome on the Microsoft campus".

Comment: hard to raise any sympathy for either side, here. It sounds Draconian, but someone apparently supplied by a temp agency to work in Microsoft's copy print shop is far from indespensable, and blogging pictures of deliveries arriving at your place of work is probably impossible to justify under any serious US employment contract. In this case, it's also dumb. Of course Microsoft has Macs -- thousands of them. It's the biggest Macintosh software house there is, and has spent the best part of two decades keeping Apple in business.
