Who said that 60k employees were on the Windows team? Do you know that a software company is not about programmers? It has human resources, legal deps, sales dep, cleaning dep, and many others. The actual programming dep is also made up of lots of deps, like the Office team, the Windows team, the HW quality team, etc. The Windows team actually has 1000 programmers (at leat a couple of years ago), not the 60 000 you mention. Learn the facts.
