Kind of related, how does that compare to say, MacOS or > BeOS or Windows? "Nearly 200." ;^) I don't know. Be has a lot less than 180 developers, I think they have less than 180 employees. Apple almost certainly has more than that, probably more than that working on OS X. I can find out if it isn't confidential. I'm certain there are more than 200 developers working on anything of note at Microsoft. They seem to be a "throw bodies at it" type of shop. > > www.FreeBSD.org, actually.
