Microsoft is on track to outsource more than 1,000 jobs a year
to China, according to blistering evidence released yesterday
in Microsoft's increasingly nasty spat with Google over an
employee who jumped ship in July.


In a revelation that highlights the complexity of China
President Hu Jintao's visit to Seattle and Microsoft on Monday,
legal filings detailed claims of how Microsoft had offended the
Chinese government by not outsourcing as many jobs as promised
to Chinese technology vendors.

1. Didn't you read the memo?

Just as the more desperate and deadly the Iraqi insurgents get, the more successful Iraq's path to democracy becomes, so it is that the more jobs that are outsourced from the US, the stronger the recovery becomes.

Follow the bouncing ball and sing, "If you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are . . ."

2. Kicked and nominated. Bill Gates also whines about the US losing ground

(on the technological level.)

Well, that's because they ship jobs overseas.

People use money as incentive.

No IT = no high paying jobs.

No high paying jobs = no interest.

THAT is why people aren't enrolling in technology classes, mister gates. You corporate lot selling out your own country's infrastructure. There IS no other reason. Period.

Oh, promising jobs to a country deemed an enemy... what's the punishment for treating with the enemy again?
