What About Think India
While you suggest that Microsoft is an American Company providing jobs to American workers, what about thier offshoring theme "Think India" and what about all the H1B and L1 visa workers they hired dumping American workers. They were screeming there was a shortage if US trained technology workers at a time when they were hiring only 2% of the applicants.

As for outsourcing to stay competitive have you seen any price drops in any of these greedy corporations who maintain they need to out source to save money.

I would rather pay for Mandrake Linux a global product than support a greed driven turncoat like Microsoft.

I also agree that this leak of Microsoft code sounds awful fishy.
