Because Canada is a joke of a country, economically speaking. Why stay in Canada when you can make American dollars.

were you born a jackass, or did you work at it?

I was born in Canada. As I said, joke of a country.

you said "U.S. workers are lazy. We should let unlimited Indians in since they are more productive. Why else would Microsoft want them?"

Forced people to upgrade hardware through the use of larger, sloppier operating systems

up until xp, there was improvement

anything prior crashed at least once a day, blowing away whatever work you hadnt saved

vista is classic H-1b code

bloatware, that works poorly

Yes, I agree. You could certainly say that in comparison right now, America's economy is no joke. The United States is in a very serious financial situation right now that is likely to lead to an economic collapse.

I think employers prefer the H1-B's because they are captives. The employers sponsor them in some citizenship fashion, if the worker quits, he /she can't just go get another job. To me they are scabs elbowing Americans out of plum jobs..

The beauty with American finance is that we somehow managed to pull the world. If the united States goes down, the rest of the world is going to fall, harder.
