It looks like Microsoft wants all its employees to use its new Windows Phone 7 platform, as the company has announced that it will be giving each one of its 89,000 employees a Windows Phone 7 smartphone.
Microsoft will be giving the Windows Phone 7 devices to its employees by Christmas, so I guess that is a good way to boost the Windows Phone 7 sales just after launch.
It should end up costing Microsoft a fair bit to give out all these smartphones to all their employees, although we suppose a free smartphone might persuade some of their employees to stop using iPhones.
