Pro business rules [14:48] schestowitz[TR2] There is a corollary that also follows the above statement. IBM will keep most of its strategic technology based within the USA Why Patent and trademark protection coupled with a very favorable pro business legal system. No other country in the world offers these kind of advantages. [14:48] schestowitz[TR2] Will IBM continue to downsize the USA and Northern European employee population You betcha Why COSTS. If nothing else, IBM is laser focused on costs, and as long as someone in the world will work for less and deliver equivalent results, IBM will seek them out.

[14:48] schestowitz[TR2] But it would be better for all if the folks in India just created their own [14:48] schestowitz[TR2] company and give the middle finger to the parasitic executives at IBM.
