Just after Intuit released the latest version of Quicken, Microsoft was quick to act as well.
To quickly launch the third version of Microsoft Money, Gates doubled the original project team's size.
A team of over six hundred people dedicated their full efforts to perfecting Microsoft Money, a configuration so luxurious it was unparalleled.
Intuit, in its entirety, didn't have that many people, counting even the most recently hired employees, it only totaled 425.
And that was split among several groups, each developing different software.
Compared to Microsoft's ultra-luxurious team, they were modest to say the least.
Because they had enough hands, Microsoft managed to complete the third version of Microsoft Money in just four short months.
In the Velvet Factory of Seattle, Microsoft had tens of thousands of employees.
Pulling out a team of six hundred was not a difficult task.
This massive alien mothership finally revealed its ferocious side.
