Are you only including developers, or all the people who work on a product? I imagine that MS has a rather large team of non-developers working on products as well.
You want to be careful with that metric. You know the cleaners don't make much money, why not fire them?
- Locke1689 16y agoI did actually mean all the people that work in development on the product. That is, in MS terms, all SDE, SDET, and PMs. I happen to know this figure is accurate for Windows (over a million per developer), although that doesn't include sales/marketing, administrative costs, etc. As for the cleaners comment, I don't really get your point. Anyway, my statistic wasn't really meant to be taken that seriously, just proof that server is actually making money over here.
