Microsoft Developer Made the Most Changes To Linux 3.0 Code

sfcrazy sends this quote from the H: "The 343 changes made by Microsoft developer K. Y. Srinivasan put him at the top of a list, created by LWN.net, of developers who made the most changes in the current development cycle for Linux 3.0. Along with a number of other 'change sets,' Microsoft provided a total of 361 changes, putting it in seventh place on the list of companies and groups that contributed code to the Linux kernel. By comparison, independent developers provided 1,085 change sets to Linux 3.0, while Red Hat provided 1,000 and Intel 839."

using

as
a
metric
has
made
my
measured
productivity
skyrocket!

Since it was a Microsoft employee, I'm going to assume that it was really just one contribution and 360 patches to make it work.

Expect more patches soon.
