ou need a solid foundation built on three drivers in order to deliver good software, and each one must be measured and judged from an end-user perspective.
Don't code an app that makes the end user want to smash their device against a wall. Advice to live by.

Dunno about anyone else, but I find a video driver and keyboard driver to be of utmost importance to my development activities.

Microsoft has rolled out a new build of Windows 10 for those of you in the Windows Insider Program. Windows 10 build 9860 features nearly 7,000 improvements and fixes since the initial release of Windows 10 on October 1st. And they didn't rename it to Windows 11 yet?

350 features and/or fixes a day - not bad, not bad...
According to a post from Sinofsky (it's about Windows 7 but I believe not to much changes) there is about 25 teams with about 40 people in each. I means about 7 improvements/fixes for each and every member in 20 days! Amazing!
Or maybe there are a few less improvements...

That's 3 days per feature/bugfix which seems a reasonable average rate to me.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

For a bug it is reasonable (for most at least)...but new features are have to be very minor to be developed from zero to finish in 3 days...
Also - not all 1000 are developers! I think Tim is right - they count also fixing typo...

Keep in mind, correcting a SINGLE spelling or grammar mistake counts on a fix, so... it can add up quickly.

No!
We also pass everything - including corrections of typo and such - via our patch system, but we do not count them and do not publish them in our newsletter as fix or improvement!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said his decision to leave the company was his alone and not made under pressure. So, he also suffers from deafness?

I had the feeling he does not read his emails...

In other news, while taking an Egyptian cruise, Balmer was seen swimming in the river.

Slowly, ever so slowly, IPv6 adoption is starting to gain momentum, but we need to start moving to it before mobile devices and the Internet of Things leaves us scrambling for the last few IPv4 Internet addresses. Now with more users than keystrokes required to type out an IPv6 address

But if Microsoft's shares outperform the S&P 500, CEO could receive as much as $355M in stock awards by 2021 That buys a lot of karma
