Fence climbing by Bill avoids the topic of training unemployed American workers for "high tech" jobs. In these tough economic times, it would see Bill could find LOTS and LOTS of unemployed American workers to fill those jobs. Part of the "management" problem is they don't want to expend any time "training" skilled Americans for that work or paying them living wages. You don't just take a dude with no skills off the street and train him to write code. If these dudes had any of the 'skills' you mention, they wouldn't be unemployed.

I never said "some dude off the street would qualify for these jobs." I've talked to some highly skilled programmers who wouldn't agree with you. Like I said before employers want specific code language skills and are unwilling to train those (who are already programmers) who could easily learn and are already here and desperate for jobs.

Hey GatesCo®... good luck with that!
Mexico can’t even keep up with their own issues - from drugs, to absolute corruption at every level. For that matter, the MExican government probably uses some of LaFamilia’s pirated software!
MExico has bigger issues than your crappy software, Microsoft. Get over it (and no, I don’t condone pirating even crappy software).

The only way to prevent this is to ban the use and possession of Office software.

Cross the border with drugs, murder thousands of innocent citizens with impunity, take thousands of job that Americans need during this depression. It's ok, no, really! In fasct, this administration "welcomes" you!
But violate a darned copyright and you've crossed the line!

Meh.
Microsoft has been taking results from Google and presenting them as being from Bing.
If Microsoft doesn’t like their product being stolen, maybe they should stop stealing products from other companies.
Just a thought.

Finding innovative ways to get your products into the hands of users is the ultimate responsibility of the CEO....congratulations to Bill on this new way to market Office during a period of low demand.
They always said Bill was a genius....Balmer I’m not so sure of!!
