RE: World's Cheapest Consultants

[Sampath Rengachari <SRengachari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Adam,

Once again, I think this is non-tech. but to close this discussion, let me
say that Microsoft dumped 400 m in India ( India is yet to see it!) in the
following forms: Discount to purchase microsoft software for all indian
Government departments: 300 Mill, AIDS support: 100 Million. I did not see
anything in development. Microsoft is worried that they would lose India to
Linux ( India government is on the verge of standardizing on Linux)and there
goes the biggest democracy and second biggest marketplace.

Mac development: I know because i have tried doing that in India.

HTH.

Huh?  So you are saying only open source projects are developer in China and
India?

Did you read the article?  MS dumped $400 mil there.  Several other
companies are already developing Consultant centers.

The consultant business is very proprietary ... my company is not going to
pay you to write me an app that you are going to open source.

"you would not see
> anyone doing code/applications for Mac in India.
"

And why not and how do you know?
