Microsoft doesn't really use a monorepo (although they may have done so in the past). Everything is moving to git, and while they've invested significant effort into getting git to handle larger repos, you don't have everything living in one repo quite the same way that Google does it.
My understanding of Google's monorepo is that search, mail, maps, etc. all live inside one repo.
- amag 9y agoUh, they moved all of Windows into a single git-repo. It used to sprawl over 40+ Source Depot repos but now it's one gigantic monorepo [1].

- uiri 9y agoRight, but Office, SQL Server and Azure don't live beside it in the same repo. Windows is one project. The FreeBSD base system lives in one repository but I wouldn't call it a monorepo.
