There is a programme on TV stating by one GE Head that USA has many specialised domain experts, India doesnt have, this statement includes engineering domain and software domain.
indian software lives on dollar strength and not on hightech people, afterall software is not hightech, its junk work done by key pushers, most people here in idnai doesnt know the calculus basics like why a derivative is used and whats the limit in the derivative is doing, they just blindly mugup. There is one fellow here called IIT Ramaiah lecturer who teaches just limits and he knows only that, and makes students mugup to get entrance to a dirty competitive entrance exams.
Indian software Industry is very dirty and the competition is very dirty,they think they are doing high tech work, they cheat the US companies for projects, and also the salary figures are hidden from the US clients(the one who outsources the projects to India), they say a salary figure of 1lakh and we have MS students as our employees, but tje salary given is just 60K rupees/month and the guys are just BE,MCA graduates, this is how they cheat and remaining money is going into black accounts, thereby decieving the stock holders too. The people think that they do high tech work, but what they do here is just clerical work by typing some code, a code is a format or rule developed by some company and one fellow has to tune it to their end application, for eg Vb or C, also wireles applications like cdma, tdma, etc are not technologies they are just formats and one has to learn each companies format.
Microsoft seem to take over the world by tying up with Intel last time in chip fabrication and certain code protection issues.
Now it wants to launch a TV too which is web enabled. This may include a built in popcorn machine and a soda maker too for the TV viewers. They seem to control the TV, and controlling the Internet with their code and industries with their software, they seem to take over the world....

How do you turn around a legend? 'Courage.'

Scott McNealy ran Sun Microsystems for 22 years and became as famous as that pioneering workstation company itself. We knew about his minus golf handicap, his loathing of Microsoft ("Windows is a hairball!"), his cocky insistence that his company's gear (work-stations, servers, storage equipment, etc.) was worth a premium. So how does a new CEO follow that act? If you're Jonathan Schwartz, 42, you focus on forging partnerships with competitors (even Microsoft), put open source at the center of your strategy and begin a blog. Schwartz, who joined Sun when it bought his small company in 1996, has not only staunched the flow of red ink, but had four profitable quarters in a row. Wearing a suit and, of course, his trademark ponytail, Schwartz dropped in to NEWSWEEK recently to talk about his 18 months in the top job.

Levy: After your illustrious predecessor, how did you establish your leadership?
Schwartz
: I just [decided to] lead in a way that I want the organization to be led. With one exception: the head of H.R. came to me and said, "You have to write down what a leader is." I thought, "No problem, I type really fast, I'll go home ever the weekend and do it." And on my 35th draft, about six months later, I felt like I had something that I wanted to live with for 10 years.
What did you wind up with?
The one word that to me really embodies a leader is courage.
What was it, besides courage, that led to the return of profits?
We took the core of the company, probably its most precious asset—the Solaris operating system—and made it freely available. No. 2 was to reduce the scope of our efforts—we had to reduce our head count, go find synergies and create partnerships that gave us a different alternative.
How do you make money by giving away your most valuable product?
If you give away your products, developers will create businesses and products based on your products. And they may one day go to work for enterprises that do pay. At that point we will make money selling them software, storage, computing systems, networking systems, services and so on.
You recently changed your stock-ticker name to Java. Why?
Most people who have a cell phone know Java. If you go to Thailand and ask 14-year-olds "Do you know what Java is?" they'll tell you yes. They may not know Google, they may not know Microsoft, but they know what Java is.
