You're right, open source and off-shoring are alike...
... in that both have as their main purpose reducing the amount paid to programmers.

Well, Microsoft's hiring, anyway. And not just off-shore.
One company which has decided that software is not just a cost center, with payments to be reduced by any means possible.

Microsoft does many things wrong, but that's one thing they have right.

So gloat all you like about the Unix realm self-destructing as it drives away people who hoped to earn a living from computers. There's a company that pays people waiting to pick up the pieces.
