Microsoft Freezes Hiring At Xbox And Zune Group
Posted by XanTium | October 4 10:40 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From alleyinsider.com:
[QUOTE]
UPDATE: We've confirmed that Robbie Bach, who heads up Entertainment and Devices (Xbox, Zune, etc), sent out an email last night announcing a freeze at his group.

Prior to receiving the news about the E&D group, we asked Microsoft for comment about the possibility of a companywide hiring freeze, which the company says is not happening.
"Microsoft will continue to grow and add thousands of new jobs this year, but given the current economic environment we are taking the prudent step of reviewing our hiring plans and will make some adjustments as appropriate. We are optimistic about our prospects for growth and will continue hiring the talent we need to ensure our ongoing success."

Not really, but because Xbox is slightly mentioned in it XS puts it on the main page anyway.
