Well they are already there, but you have your geography somewhat mixed up. Microsoft has built a 'campus' in India. The facility 'looks' like a college and has dormitories and a "student-union" building (cafeteria). They will tap the cheap labor and re-write Windows so it actually works. They will do this at 1/100th the cost of maintaining the current Redmond operation. That building will be sold within the next 5 years, just watch!

Well... (gulp) Does it make money? Can it pay Linus` salary? If so, keep it quiet. There's a lot of junk out there. They just rename it junque to keep the price up.
Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.18 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips). Why is the government concerned about the lunatic fringe? Think about it.
