- exmsft6780 10y agoAs someone who worked at both companies for a long time, I assure you that Google's best practices (circa when I switched) were a generation ahead of Microsoft's. Mostly due to MSFT having much longer software release cycles, a more primitive, Windows-based internal cloud, many legacy build systems, less inter-group trust, and little company-wide desire to improve things.
