Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has thrown down the gauntlet and known as Google's headcount growth plans "insane." Hmm. Let's look at a few interesting facts: Microsoft = 75,000 employees Google = 10,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional,000 employees Microsoft officials have stated that their plan is to grow headcount in Microsoft's Online Systems Business (OSB) division by 40 percent in the coming year. (No word right now on what the current size of the existing OSB group — all of the folks working on MSN, Windows Live and the back-end infrastructure supporting Microsoft's online properties.) It seems like Microsoft isn't shying away from hiring in other divisions,

Office Pro 2007 Key, Xbox and Zune teams, too. Seems like the Ballmer pot is calling the Schmidt kettle black on this one.
