No i do not think MS would make it free, they have invested quite a lot of money and made a huge loss selling the consoles. One way to recuperate that cost would be through selling subscription(Xbox Gold membership).
I am happy Sony is making this free. Total cost of ownership will be more or less same when you compare both(Xbox 360 Vs PS3).
This topic my friend is not a Computer Science Graduate thesis topic . This should be a thesis done by a student in FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES or
FAMILY STUDIES.
Anyways, all the best in finding a job !!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Lets not get sidetracked from the main topic. The main issue being discussed here is about how companies misuse the H1B quota to get cheap labour. Well the main culprit here are small Consultant companies, whose main aim is to get as many people from india and fill high paying jobs for less.They profit from just being able to sponsor employees using the H1b. Some of these companies have 100% Indian hires who work for less.The consultant charges much higher rate from the company and profits from not paying the employee(usally 40% or less).
I have personally attended some of their interviews(when I looked for jobs after college) but looks like most of these companies are run by Indians themselves(GC holders) and hire only Indians(Not policy but profitable-$$ for them).
Our company is on the top fortune 100 , and we outsource small projects to these consultants just because they work for less and a temp position cannot be filled any better. And as always they are uaully indians who apply through a consultant.
H1B hiring rules and practices should be made more stricter and priority given to companies that really needs a forign worker just for his skills and not just to replace a local worker.
It is kind of slow in rendering pages compared to Firefox, Phisihing checker does not work all the time,as many websites are yet to support the feature.
