Hardball, maybe. I'm expecting Apple to transform itself into a more competent and coherent company when they get this coliseum up and running.
No more updating one line of products at a time. Enough engineers and product designers to go around. A new Mac Pro every year, a line of Apple-Foxconn monitors and TVs, Siri will understand Russian accents . . .

Apple doesn't actually update one line of products at a time; they just release one line of products at a time.

That's even more true today (and will be even more true in the future) than in anytime in their past as nearly all their products are interconnected.
There is still a lot of work to do. When do they say employees will be ready to move in?
Agreed. When all the orange construction cones and orange fences are gone and green grass planted and everything inside the ring gone, then this will look more likely done. Until then, I don't see that happening in the next twenty-six days.
You don't need landscaping to be finished to move in. The section of the building they want to use needs to be finished as well as other items like the section of parking lot, networking, etc. We don't know the status of the interior because we can't see it from drone videos but its apparently done enough for a few teams to start moving in....I would guess it would be the R&D team as @Soli said. That building looks to be just about if not 100% complete.
My stance wasn't if they are moving people in or not, it was if they are finished with construction and landscaping. Clearly they are not done. Though I do agree, the R&D building does look to be complete, sans landscaping.
Does anyone else find it ironic that the R&D building is rather meh in comparison to the main building at Apple Park? I'm sure inside everything is completely state of the art but the outside exterior looks like a standard office building.

If we go by the very last thing to be done, there will probably be some construction or landscaping contractor there for the next year. Filling up the ring at Apple Park is going to take many, many years, but even the normal moving for some employees from 1 Infinite Loop to Apple Park may not happen until 2018. Apple possibly haven't even detailed all the groups that will move or their timeframes. Think of it like the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. It was fully operational, and yet not complete.

One video or article from Dec or Jan showed that large wooden tables had been moved into the R&D building. While these were probably very large and possibly put in before they put in a final window pane or two, it could also mean they're already starting to get setup. If you're R&D, do you send your R&D teams to do some specific setup of tables, or do let the contractors handle it like you'd find in a call center with snap together kiosks. My guess is, the smaller the group, the more likely they're going to want to have more control over their environment setup.
A little over 3 minutes into Sinfield's March 2017 video we see the R&D building. Except for some missing grass, this building looks fully functional. We see chair and tables, we only 2 trucks out of about 2 dozen vehicles, parking lot paved and painted, and there are no cranes, tractors, construction workers, or even white protectant film over any of the windows.
I thought the whole parking lot was underground and landscaped over?
Aww, little bit disappointed to see all that asphalt.

That building has no underground parking, as far as I know. It does seem very mundane compared to the rest of Apple Park. Given the other structures, I would've expected solar panels on top.

Do you see that red curb there? DO YOU??!! Steve would have NEVER allowed this to happen. NEVER! It's very tacky (tsk tsk tsk...) He would leave it natural concrete. And any car that would have parked there; he would simply had moved to the onsite crusher, and had it quebed!! This is an outrage!! AN OUTRAGE, I TELL YOU! Fire Cook.

That, or it's painted (PRODUCT)RED, and then any car that parks there gets towed, stripped, and sold for parts with 10% of the proceeds going to Bono.

I know you're just being a smartass, but I assume it has to be red by code. So even if Steve were here to have a hand in the design, I bet that red curb would still be there. You still have to abide by city regulations when building something...doesn't matter if you're Apple, Steve Jobs, etc. Building code is building code.

Aww, little bit disappointed to see all that asphalt.
The only underground parking is around the main structure. There is no underground parking for the R&D center, same I think goes for the fitness center (unless you walk there?). Still though, thats significantly small compared to what it could be. Could you imagine what most companies would do with 12,000 employees in a couple buildings? They would have taken that same plot of land and made as much of it flat parking lots as possible. I think its very well thought out how Apple is able to pull off parking like they did without many of the vehicles being seen.
I hope it has some 'people mover' type system built in for horizontal travel. It would take a hell of a long time to get from an office directly opposite if walking I'd imagine. Is there some report somewhere detailing internal movement systems?

Because office workers can't work unless...landscaping is complete?? Wut

I believe they're called "legs". Seriously tho, it wouldn't take that long to get to the other side, whether walking in the loop or crossing the park. I've worked in downtowns were we have multiple buildings and it's not big deal to walk to another. Nice break for your body and your mind.
