M$ and ideas...

I read an article in a Candian magazine called 'Macleans' on Wall Mart. I believe it's a May/05 edition.

In this article was a paragragh about the amount of profit per employee. According to the journalist, Wall Mart makes about $8,000 / employee, General Electric makes about $34,000 / employee, and M$ makes about, are you ready for this, $140,000 / employee.

Who is doing the coding? A roomful of monkeys being fed bananas? With Gates and Ballmer running the front office and making PR. announcements?

No wonder they put out a beta version of their next operating system. They don't have any programmers to de-bug it. The users have to do it for them just like Win98 and XP.

Just my opinion...
