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

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

      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.
