Tech: The Seattle Times reports: ” A Seattle labor group said it has new evidence that Microsoft is shifting high-level work to foreign contractors, including work on the next version of Windows.”

The security implications of this news are staggering. Does the Federal government really want Microsoft to use foeign nationals to write a next-generation operating system? The Feds are already locked-in to Windows. Maybe its time to look at open source more seriously. At least the Feds can vet the code.
