MS, too. And don't forget L1 Visas (Score 1)

Can't leave MS out of this. Check out http://www.washtech.org/docs/html_ppts/01.php where MS's Sr VP Windows Division pushes for more outsourcing. On slide 6, he even talks about a "twofer" of Indian "heads".

'course MS may have to do this since the FASB may decide by the end of this month that stock options have to be treated as an expense, so the only two profitable divisions at MS may not look so profitable any more. (yeah, I know this was hashed here, but the discussion I saw was pre-Enron, and before Intel, Amazon and a bunch of other companies voluntarily saying they would treat options as an expense.)

And H1-B is only half the story. Check out this article on L1 (and H1-B): http://newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/3/12/123 733.shtml
