Hey, don't spread this news around, M$ might just buy it all... And in some year you'll be reading Google's EULA and paying for each one of your queries...
I wonder what would be Google's performance running on Win2k3:P
I read a bunch of replies on how bad an alien programmer can be and so on...
IMHO, the point is: if it was better to employ americans, companies would do so... They rather have the risk of getting bad codes that work (although hard to maintain), paying low salaries and having no problems with labor related laws, than having the same risk, paying high salaries and benefits to americans.
You cannot say: "Americans are the best workers in the world". There are, and I cannot disagree, a lot of good workers. But there are good ones in India, China etc, as well. Why not better ones! And they are willing to work for less.
Stop complaining about how you might loose your job, because your company hired an alien or outsourced (off-shored etc). Spend your time doing something useful, like studying, getting better at what you do, or working. I'm sure that's going to do a lot more for you than whining is...
