regarding bill gates and india investments; I personally don't begrudge MS at all for india investments.

we americans are so fortunate gates is american. We should encourage development of people like him. Intel is ameican also. and they say americans can't do this stuff.

But if gates prefers india over china, I say great. Investments in India by gates seem good. We should be very happy if he just keeps more than 50% of his corporate MS employee spending in US at this point. Gates gives more than 100 million a year inside US on charities mostly schools I thought. 100 million for aids help in india is $0.10 per citizen gift.

The people of india deserve an equal chance to compete as we do. We in our country under our laws and they in india under their laws. The corporation should be allowed to be multi-national if desired. But our citizens should rule the job market here. Otherwise both nations don't simultaneously prosper.

Microsoft is flooded with H1-Bs. Microsoft is building major facilities in India and China. Microsoft is ONE reason why many Americans are out of work.

To take it a step furthur. If you noticed in the articles I posted concerning Microsoft, while Gates is telling Indians that they are the BEST "class" in software in the world (I guess he really doesn't think much of Americans does he), and telling them, "India is the leader by far but it should track the progress China is making", he's building a 750 million dollar facility in China. Now that's what I call slick.

Basically, Gates gives not one fleeting whim as to the welfare of ANY nation, he simply wants them all to us MS operating systems, development tools, and related software.

He cares not if those countries lose or gain, he just wants them to use his product. His only motivation is PURE greed. How much richer can Bill Gates get I wonder? Is it that he wants to buy the Earth?

we americans are so fortunate gates is american.

Yeah, if he was Indian he might want to build facilities in AMERICA.

We should encourage development of people like him. Intel is ameican also. and they say americans can't do this stuff.

Yep, Intel is really pro-American. That's why they're sending sensitive technology to CHINA, never mind the fact that they are migrating much of their production and R&D work to there.

For a example of what I mean, check the link below;

Intel China Research Center

You'll notice the following projects listed.

• Speech signal processing
• Speech recognition

Those techologies could VERY easily be used to develop intelligence gathering equipment similar to the NSA. Have you ever heard of Sun Tzu? You may want to look into the following thread..

China said to approach NATO for dialogue

Out of pure stupidty and greed, we have played right into the hands of those who wish to destroy us..

China More a Threat to Taiwan and US Than We Are Being Told

The people of india deserve an equal chance to compete as we do.

Then perhaps they should allow us to flood their development centers with Americans...
