Well excuuuuuuse meeee, Mr. Holistic Vegetarian Against the Klan! My comment was that Microsoft will continue to hire lame-ass Indians, Chinese, Brazilians, Russians, etc. - anyone other than American...you know...where they derive most of their income, where they enjoy their tax relief, and where they have their base of operations.
I don't like offshoring of any kind and MS is really bad about it. I don't care where they are hiring them if it isn't here, it isn't right.
If they want to hire offshore then I want their lame-ass OS for $35 per copy and MS Office for $75 per copy. How 'bout them apples or mangoes?

Please. Could I ask you to remember that (1) for LWN, "here" is all over the globe - less than half of LWN readers are based in the U.S.; and (2) this is not the sort of discussion we like to have on LWN. Could we stop this thread now?
