Useful insight, though I found this quote to be... interesting: "At Microsoft we try very, very hard to not release half-baked software."


Trying is very different than actually delivering.


well to be fair they do have a much harder job (at least for one organization to do) than Apple...

developing software for a seemingly infinite combos of ever changing pc components can't be easy

(i forgot to add this to my 1st post)


it's takes 0 employees, they use outsourced robots.


Actually, it probably actually takes one MSFT employee to do it, the maintenance guy who's responsible for that particular building! Maybe the exec that just got fired will be that guy soon!!
