Every piece of evidence I've heard from developers inside Microsoft
supports my theory that the company has become completely tangled up in
bureaucracy, layers of management, meetings ad infinitum, and
overstaffing. The only way Microsoft has managed to hire so many people
has been by lowering their hiring standards significantly.
