Internal Emails Released In Vista Capable Debacle
An anonymous reader writes "As previously discussed, Microsoft's attempt to shield itself from further discovery over the Windows Vista Capable debacle has failed and more internal emails have been released. Although Microsoft has successfully kept CEO Steve Ballmer away from the witness stand on grounds the he 'has no unique knowledge of the facts in this case,' emails suggest otherwise. An email was released in which Intel CEO Paul Otellini thanks Ballmer for listening and making changes to the program allowing their 915 chipset to pass the grade: 'I know you did it.'"
Yeah, because it has nothing to do with economics (read: they're cheaper), it has to be race.

No, you're basically being a douche and trying to prove your point through meaningless articles. If you ever worked with people from other countries from serious companies you'd see that these people are not trained according to their culture but to the company's culture.
Approval from management or confrontation is just a discussion with management and that obviously happens everywhere. It might be different in the 1st-world (I haven't assumed YET you're from US) where people tend to think that what's good about them should be mentioned, which I think is a good practice.
If you want to talk about culture, what should I say to the more than 20 different persons I talked through last year from all parts of the 1st-world that didn't know that in Brazil, we speak portuguese and NOT spanish? Even better, what should I do about all the other co-workers from the 3rd-world who even took initiative to learn a few words in portuguese to exchange greetings and promote better relationship?
Actually, don't say anything. I know from your culture that the workplace is not a place to estabilish relationships, and maybe that's why everybody else in the world has the idea that all of them are workaholics. A shame really.

Oh come off it, 75% of indian technical graduates aren't qualified to work ANYWHERE. The other 25% are mostly subpar, and nearly 100% of those that are ANY good at all come over here to take jobs in the US. If you're an Indian in a technical field working in India its because you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.
Any time we outsource any development, it takes six times the time, which really negates the fact that the developers make 1/3rd the salary. Oh and to boot anytime we actually get someone to be productive, the leave to take a better job, HERE IN THE STATES.
