Not sure what you're referring to, but Microsoft has always had security incidents because they make the platform(s) that almost everyone uses, and so is commonly the target for malicious actors. This has been the case with Microsoft as long as Windows has been the dominant OS which is since the 90s. Not sure what hiring people outside of the US has to do with this.
He's referring to cheap labor and cheap code written by people who don't care and who are managed by a chain of people with a different set of goals, values and national loyalties.
The plan for world domination by M$ has always been about building up countries to save $. Especially one in particular with 3-4x the "human resources" that allow themselves to be mined at a fraction of the price that still gives them a better life.
Absolutely true. Profit motive, JIT employment, etc
I'm sorry, what? Indian programmers are a problem because they're disloyal?
Not what I meant, more about the idea that they have their own loyalties to family, local businesses, growth of their own businesses if they leave (which they will start in their area), that type of thing. Not a slight on work ethic or generalization of actual people.
Hopefully that makes that more clear.
