Why Microsoft Wants to Buy Google [Slashdot]

>Moving software development to India may not have the great savings that some businesses expect. I continue to believe that this will be a business fad du jour, and in a few years, the amount of work outsourced will end up at some small level, such as 10% of what is done domestically. However, in the interim, U.S. corporate policies stand to gut the U.S. of internally developed IT skills. Enrollments in computer science programs have dropped by over 60% in the last two years. In another two years, as these now shrunken graduating classes enter the market, corporate CEOs will proclaim that the U.S. does not train enough people in technology and the U.S. must import tech workers from abroad. Never mind that it was the corporations themselves that killed the goose that laid the eggs delivering the future new hires. I teach college classes and every student is fully aware of their future tech jobs being moved offshore. American students are not dumb, as the tech CEOs would have you believe, but quite intelligent and are adapting to the job environment created by the CEOs themselves. Meanwhile, India's IT industry is forecasting 28% growth next year. [Edward Mitchell: Common Sense Technology] comments < 12:52:58 PM
