- xrayarx 3y agoDoes anybody know how MS does Windows development these days? Just curious…
- gumby 3y agoI hope someone at Microsoft does, though their attention seems to be elsewhere.
- midoridensha 3y agoI'm guessing around 800: 3 devs for the OS core, the rest for the adware and spyware. (/s)
- azemetre 3y agoThat's good to know, honestly surprised to read that NT had that many. I'd figured early versions wouldn't require that many people. Now knowing the Fuchsia numbers, I don't know if that's a signal to how productive the team is or if they dwindling resources.
