Agreed. If they want to get into a p*ssing contest, they ought to consider they're comparing their entire OS to just the kernel. Let's pick any one distro and I bet they'll be eating their words. Then consider everything that counts as 'Linux' and I bet the daily commit count would result in Windows' development being classed as a 'critical network outage'.
- soneil 9y agoI read it as a pretty fair comparison within the context. They're not comparing windows vs linux. They're comparing the challenges their repo faces vs the challenges the linux kernel repo faces. And within that context, I really hope the windows repo is substantially larger, else the linux kernel is going very very wrong.
- gargravarr 9y agoIt was a fair comparison until they started using words like 'cute', mocking the average commits per day and challenging the kernel team on size - that's when it got unnecessarily nasty. Almost condescending, Microsoft telling the guys who wrote git for their own use that they don't know how to run it.
