Amid layoffs, Microsofties reveal further turmoil ...
34K still seems a lot, but how many are really involved in developing the core products? A lot of them would probably be sales people etc?
Maybe MS would do better with 34K than 100K people...

Yeah, Apple probably has a lot of retail employees for their Apple Stores.

A lot of people have that opinion. Such as the Mini-Microsoft blog:

, which is supposedly ran by an MS employee.

Yes, and how many work in their retail stores (not sure if that's included). Every Apple store I've been to seems to have a 1:1 customer to employee ratio.
