Microsoft, get with the program. I have used Windows 7 for a couple of weeks. I averaged 3 blue screens per hour. This was the base 7 install with no additional software installed. A new build PC. I removed 7 from the PC and installed Ubuntu 8.10. There have been no system halts, no failures of any kind. I am not a Linux fanboy. There is a Mac, 3 xp machines and now 2 Linux machines in my collection. Xp works, Linux works, and the Mac works. Windows 7 does not. It was sad how poorly 7 worked.

Workforce Development & Skills Training... is that like the MCSE training you were doing in high schools, years ago, so kids could graduate from high school and go right to work in an 8/hr job? hmmm. I thought that was MacDonalds. I think you are just realizing that India has gotten too expensive now what with it costs $35/hr for a QA 'tester' and we DO know that those indian testers cannot test their way out of a wet paper sack and certainly cannot write a LEGIBLE or logical test case. Also, they will quit to take a job for a nickel more per hr at a competitors. Why didn't you ever build up teams in Makati City, PH instead of India?? You want down a street in India and you hear Hindi, you want down a street in Manila and you hear ENGLISH. Not impressed, Microsoft, with your baloney. Been in the IT industry 14 years longer than Gates. Know you aren't ethical.
