With a significant number of tech and support jobs going overseas, M$ will be 
international for quite a while to come.  I, personally, feel that M$ is what 
allows the jobs to be transferred offshore.  There is no opportunity to 
differentiate your company with computer technology any longer.  No business 
advantage, no reason to keep high cost staff around.

Can we come up with a conspiracy theory about M$ secretly fostering offshoring 
to keep their software in use internationally?
