The article above was actually wrong and has been updated to show that Microsoft has 3,000 active developers instead of the original 20,000 that is quoted here.

The article above was actually wrong and has been updated to show that Microsoft has 3,000 active developers instead of the original 20,000 that is quoted here. So it's only a difference of 50%, not a full order of magnitude.
- hateduser2 9y agoAlthough you should consider how active those devs are... I'm imagining its far more active than Linux kernel devs... so the activity levels can still be an order of magnitude higher
- cyphar 9y agoIt's probably more active than some Linux kernel developers (those who don't work on the kernel exclusively), but the majority of Linux kernel developers are employed to do kernel work and so I don't see why there would be a difference in amount of code output by either sets of developers.
