  What Are Those 10,000 New Microsoft Employees Doing?
Time: 11:25 EST/16:25 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

In late July, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported that Microsoft had added 10,000 new employees in fiscal 2006. So what are all those new folks doing, exactly? The Seattle PI does some analysis, based on Microsoft's annual 10K filing. About 4,000 went to product research and development; 3,000 to sales and marketing; 1,000 to product support and consulting; and 2,000 to general and administration. There's no additional break-down data available. But many company watchers believe Microsoft's Platform and Services unit, home of the Windows Live family of products, is absorbing most of the new hires.

#1, "Yikes - now that is a horror story"

I can't help but wonder..... if the owner with all the trouble... how did he use the MacBooxPro?
I mean... did he set in on a couch, or some other some surface... a bed perhaps... and w/o knowing, block all the ventilation ports on the bootm of the system? If not, then major portions of design had to have been ignored - e.g., it's not just how a system looks - it is just as important to care for how it is going to perform.

"What Are Those 10,000 New Microsoft Employees Doing?"

Selling a lot more Windows Servers than Linux!!!!

"Somewhat surprisingly, Linux seems to be running out of steam a little. After nearly four years of double-digit revenue growth, the Linux server sub-market accounted for only $1.5 billion in sales in the second quarter of 2006, an increase of only 6.1 percent. IDC didn't say this, but it could be that the mainframe market has saturated itself with Linux and is no longer consuming Linux MIPS like it has for the past several years. Linux server shipments grew 9.7 percent in the quarter, and most of the revenue and shipments were on X86 and X64 servers."

"Windows-based server shipments increased by 11 percent."


WOW! Windows server shipment GROWTH bigger than Linux server shipment GROWTH!!

That is HUGE news!!!

#3: Yes, and everyone installing Linux buys it so that the sales figures can be tracked. What you're really trying to say is that, with Linux growth almost the same as Windows, then Linux is actually ahead if you count all the installs from free download. I knew Linux was growing faster than Windows, but I needed Parkkker's input to confirm it.

As for the question about the 10,000 MS employees, they were hired to work on the API docs that MS doesn't have the resources for. Apparently, the DOJ wants to extend their oversight period because MS has been dragging their feet (surprise! shock!) about the consent decree. Seems that the DOJ thinks their API doc is crap too. That must burst the buble of all the morons that tried to blame it on the commies running the EU.

btw Parkkker, we're waiting for you in the Firerfox 2.0 thread.

"then Linux is actually ahead if you count all the installs from free download."

Don't be absurd. As I've mentioned before, companies like IDC take those things into account.

As an example, the K12 organization I work for has 200+ servers running Windows. Not one was bought with an OS on it since we buy the OS through a reseller because of the Academic discount.

Linux ... .4% of the desktop and now out of steam on the server.

hey latch, people steal windows. and thats not taken into account either.

#7 By 23275 (68.17.42.38) at 9/2/2006 10:11:04 PM
My hope is that they are building an OS alternative to Vista - something adults might like to use...
