That's your Microsoft pulling the out sourcing rug out from under you. How do all the IT MS defenders feel about this now? Betrayed? Used? Need a shoulder to cry on?
Poor guyz. It's almost like a country and western song, isn't it?
Sure, US tech people really don't need jobs anymore
Sure Balmer, sure. First you say that the US us not graduating enough engineers, and what do you do? Send more work overseas and layoff those same engineers that you claim that you need.
US tech people really don't need jobs anymore, do they? Why are people still buying MS software?
Please, can somebody point me to a quote from Bill Gates, the worlds' richest (software) man. about not exporting the high paying, "Knowledge Worker" jobs?!
As long as India and China provide dirt cheap labor,and that's what it is all about,low cost labor. American Industry will continue to send work over seas. But who knows those two countries may one day pull the rug from under the Americans, and then what will Mr. CEO-DUNCE do.
.... for Mr. Ballmer to take the entire Microsoft operation overseas. Just think of the savings that would create. And India would be so grateful!!!! Ol' Bill would have to sell his house but while the price he gets would be quite low, the replacement cost in India should be even cheaper.
And there might even be enough people in India who would buy MS products to keep the company solvent.
But, by then, who would care ?????
Henry Ford had the right idea - pay his workers a good wage so that they could buy Ford automobiles. I don't think he ever considered building the automobiles in Mexico for the cheap labor costs.
The start of the United Auto Workers, his use of violence against workers demanding higher wages, and his oppurtunity to spin the American opinion by offering those wages is why Ford did it: not that he was a good guy! ! ! ! The man never gives up anything unless it is to his advantage; be it Walton, Ford, Welch, Bush, or Steinbrenner! ! !
US intellectual property laws have enable MS to become a virtual monopoly. Now they are moving their production offshore where these laws are ignored, but will still expect to gouge US citizens as they strengthen and enforce their "MS genuine" effort. Sounds like MS now wants to exploit both US citizens and foreign workers.
Response: Boycott MS. Encourage Linux, Open Office, standards, and pirates
Have you every tried talking to a MS service person in India. I have lived all over the world and am used to foreign accents but some of these people are extremely difficuly to understand. However, on the other side of the coin, they are extremely polite and won't give up until the have solved your problem. At the wages they are getting MS can afford to let them spend all the time they need to help you out. If you are unhappy with what MS is doing, switch to LINDOWS a Linux OS that workes like Windows but is much more stable.
