The key problem is that our government is buying everyone houses to get reelected thus diverting the money from it best use in our economy. That puts China and India at an advantage. You are screaming at the symptom not the cause. Or, in the words of the immortal Jim Croce, And they say You don't tug on superman's cape You don't "spit" into the gook You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger And you don't mess around with Duke

How about msft stops with the inflammatory rhetoric towards US engineering, gives people some raises and actually RAISES the quality of life for engineering talent in the US. then maybe the best engineers would go back to engineering. In my day I was a great engineer, but I would never consider that profession now, no way. That is the key problem. That sounds pretty greed driven. How often do you hear on the news that American companies can't find enough qualified employees and have to hire overseas? Are you saying they are lying?

Old car production equipment is sent to cheap labor countries to be used to produce bad cars, so that expensive labor countries can produce new and better cars. If you have a certain number of engineers in USA, should they work on the products of the future or on the products of the past? There is no doubt, that for Microsoft, it is vital to have engineers for keeping Windows running, but seriously, the world has moved on, and doesn't need extremely well paid engineers to do innovation on a Win32 OS.
