Like anybody fighting against prejudices, most offshore companies that offer outsourced coding are fighting an uphill battle. Any mistake is seen as proof of inadequacy. Therefore, the rule for the minority is perfection for cheap, and any mistake is unacceptable. Last I heard, Microsoft does 0% outsourcing of coding. All Microsoft code is 100% USA Quality. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and dns services http://www.arcticbears.com _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
