    The whole outsourcing to cheaper labor thing gives people like me, freelance web wevelopers, less work. I have had several clients tell me they are outsourcing to India. India's got plenty of people and their own government. I'm sure they can figure out their own infrastructure. And screw you Microsoft for hiring the local Mexican standing in front of Home Depot.

    So Microsoft is bringing a LOT of $$$ to India. Used to be that companies were applauded for bringing money to poor regions of the world.
