tl;dr: In the Linux world, people are praised in glory for even small improvements in efficiency. In the Microsoft world, your managers don't care if you improve performance by 5% (the percentage needs to be very large in order for people to care). There is also no 'formal or informal program of systemic performance improvement.' Also, Google & other large companies keep buying Microsoft's devs to work for them.

Please do not turn this into a Linux vs Windows thread!
