Microsoft sucks because they hire Indians?
Who do you think Apple and Google hires? 100% all American work force?

As for your first post. The Market Cap for MSFT is 248 Billion, Google is 247.8 Billion. So they are virtually tied. Google is gaining ground fast.
I don’t like it when any company uses the H1B program as an excuse to not hire Americans. Their are plenty of qualified Americans for these jobs. But not at the salary these companies want to PAY. They want CHEAP LABOR, and they should be called out on it. This applies to all companies.
Microsoft is in trouble because they are not an innovative company. Never was. They got ahead by using their Market Size to crush more innovative companies. (Netscape, Novell, Word Perfect, etc).
They can’t use this strategy with Apple or Google. Both companies are too big, fast and innovative for them.
