Everyone knows that Microsoft only employs underpaid hackers which it locks in small rooms and feeds pizza and jolt cola to. As far as software development goes - I think they still rely heavily on the "Big-Bang" integration approach along with a healthy dose of build'n'fix. Rumors are often wrong.
