- Came across this article about XBox 360 and failure rates. I just loved this comment:
"First, MS has under resourced that product unit in all engineering areas
since the very beginning. Especially in engineering support functions
like test, quality, manufacturing, and supplier management. There just
weren't enough people to do the job that needed to be done. The
leadership in many of those areas was also lopsided in essential skills
and experience. But I hear they are really trying to staff up now based
on what has happened, and how cheap staff is compared to a couple of
billion in cost of quality." (emphais mine)
