Those of you who have had the pleasure of looking at Windows Vista may see where this artical is comming from.

Personally i think the discussion on this topic is a little petty but interesting.

very interesting, can't beleive it can take up to 3 weeks for other teams to be able to see changes other teams made in the code.

During the first months of development (which this article seems to relate to) the time between builds is always very large.

True, im both glad and sad that they have been intergrated into Microsoft, but i believe it will benefit us all in the long run with continued improvements into current and future Os's as well as there tools being freely avaliable.

Yeah I noticed this a little while ago, I just think that their independance allowed them to be critical to MS when needed. I hope they're not silenced by the MS PR machine.

Top guys producing top utilities.
