Eating dogfood at Microsoft

One of the most common words used by many people at Microsoft is: dogfood. Except they mostly use it as a verb. They refer to "dogfooding products" or "helping to dogfood" some new product or a mobile SmartPhone is known as a "dogfood device".

Somebody just interviewed the CIO of Microsoft who discussed "Eating Dogfood at Microsoft". Take a look at the video:
