Microsoft Strengthens Indian Ties

[OhioChick]

Extends partnerships with top Indian IT companies TCS and Wipro…

In the same week it opened a massive R&D campus in Hyderabad Microsoft has boosted its Indian links further by tying up strategic partnerships with the top two Indian IT companies.

The two deals were announced during Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's three-day visit to India earlier in the week.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is India's largest IT company and has extended its existing partnership with Microsoft around global and offshore services.

In the second deal India's number two IT company Wipro announced some key outcomes of its existing five-year partnership with Microsoft after a meeting between its chairman Azim Premji and Ballmer.

1. Well, there possibly goes my brother's job! But, hey, he voted for

Chimpy McFlightsuit! I guess I can't feel too sorry if he loses his job!

People need to boycott economic traitor Microsoft like the plague! Use UNIX and Apple computers!

2. Micros~1 is a menace to society,

even if they followed fair hiring practices. They haven't got a single product worth using, the last one they had was OS/2. Don't bother with them. Find a local GNU/Linux or BSD or MAC user group and you'll never look back.

3. In Asia, I've never met a person who didn't hate Microsoft

That is a person who used a pc. More surprising, every person I've ever met who had any kind of business relationship with Microsoft held a double hatred for Microsoft. I guess this is one of those kind of things you won't hear on the repuke media sources just like other truths one can hear on Air America and such. White is black and black is white.

This is why I sold my Microsoft stock. I just can't see how a company can survive when everyone hates it. If/when there is an alternative product/service no one will purchase Microsoft.

In conclusion, this is what I fear the Bush/GOP Crime Family has done, with more to come, to America. As soon as there is an alternative, no one will choose the USA.
