Here in the UK there is a lengthy screening process for anyone who work with children
A 14 year old leaves her parents and takes enough money to go halfway around the globe without her parents knowing about it? Maybe the UK needs a lengthy screening process for would-be parents..If the government thinks you can't raise a child, maybe they shouldn't let you procreate..This way, the rest of us won't suffer.
In India, people who pirate software are more likely to buy "assembled" PCs. "Assembled" PCs are basically brandless PCs that come bundled with pirated software. If someone orders a PC with linux installed, he is more likely to be doing so because he intends to use Linux.
If more people use linux, there will be more linux applications. If more people use linux, applications written for linux will be user tested more. I dont think there is a "market" as such for linux. Linux, after all, is free. In any case, most personal users in India and china dont pay for software(MS or Linux).

Because a well paid middle class is a political threat?
Was it a conspiracy against the working class when you bought Nike sneakers made in Indonesia? Or drove a Japanese car? Or bought a monitor made in Taiwan?
Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute?
Have you heard of work being outsourced to individual developers in India? How can you compare an individual willing to telecommute with a team working on an outsourced project.
Forget India for a moment..Would you feel it was a betrayal of the "middle class" if your company in New York outsourced its system administration functions to EDS in Kansas?
