Microsofts development process

I really liked the Scott Guthrie's post about the ASP.Net development process, mostly because writing software still seems like a chaotic endeavour to me. I have been writing software for about 5 years now and I have read a lot about software engineering methodologies such as Extreme Programming, RUP (Rational Unified Process) and more general project management methodologies such as Prince2. But in the end it is still the code that matters and articles like this definitely illustrate this fact. On Benjaminm's blog there is also a nice followup article about it.
