Which is exactly what they should do!

The estimate is that the Windows codebase is now a sprawling 40million lines - exactly as desribed in Big Ball Of Mud. Worth a read if you've got any interest in engineering and design ( not just software ).

For perspective, when I worked on games in the late 80's, something like Turbo Outrun was done in around 50,000 lines of handwritten code. The larger systems I work on now in Java rarely go above 500,000 lines.
