IIRC, only about 200 developers* worked on the core of Vista (compare that
to /far/ more Linux developers). I can't recall if Vista development was done
mainly in India, but Vista 7 is developed primarily in India.

* Approximately 1000 developers work on Office, for the sake of comparison.

everytime you say things like this i just think of that cult of people
who send around .doc files. i dont want to communicate with people who
talk in .doc format, but they do not wish to use something else, so
they discredit those without word. --Ed, c.o.l.a.
