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". A long time ago someone said that software developers "need to eat their own dogfood", meaning they have to use the software they are developing for other people, they have to test it themselves. Somebody just interviewed the CIO of Microsoft who discussed "Eating Dogfood at Microsoft". Take a look at the video:
