alt Hacker News2 people doing QA per dev seems insane even if it’s a lot cheaper. M$ is hardly know for being obsessed with quality, they’d rather have 2 sales per dev (sales is even cheaper, basically pays for itself)

Microsoft's quality control used to be: release a buggy new OS then forge a solid next release.
Going backwards in stability is out of character.

I've never known M$ to be lacking on the sales front, personally!
It's a lot easier to write code than to make sure it doesn't break something you didn't account for.
