Gottfried,

<That tells me something.>

It may have some meaning to you that it doesn't for me.<gg>
I tell you what though - my first impression was that for a company with MSFT's head count, hiring 4K people may not even be enough to satisfy the normal replacement rate to maintain a work force at the present level due to retirements, resignations, etc.

It wouldn't seem to be the sign of a growing organization.

Don

Gottfried,

Well, 4k sounds like a good "computerized number, but not very much for a company as big as Microsoft. It may not even be enough to counter act the natural "retirement rate".
