1. It's not our fault the media mentions "India" more than other countries. It is about lowest costs. India is a scapegoat. Or a victim of reverse-racism, if corporations think all Indians are better than everyone else. Anyone with certain God-given talents can do some things better than everyone else.
2. Do a web search for "Americans train their cheaper H1B replacements".
3. Corporate CEOs are on record saying it is about being cheaper. Web search "Steve Ballmer offshoring profits makes American labor more expensive" for more.
4. Given Windows Vista, the bugs in Expression Media 2, the false hype in Flight Simulator X, how "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been", and so on, now is not the time to be hyping up how great India is.
5. Back to point 4, have we seen what India is made up of? The tech support calls I've put in never got resolved or passed on by the people who responded. Their names were "Mick" and "April", but the electronic resonance on the occasions someone was masking their true voice couldn't mask that they weren't very educated on the subject at hand, or the protocol for transferring the issue appropriately. (web search that, too, voice altering software exists and is used to shroud the truth. If somebody wanted me to have my voice shrouded, I would find it insulting.)
Ignorance, indeed. If you're going for a sales pitch, understand the medium first. (In short, check your grammar and spelling too...)
