Re: It was most likely hist real IP

Wasn't there one that was busted a few months back, and the people working there were amazed to discover that they didn't really work for Microsoft?

Just like the warehouse full of Indians "working on telecoms OSS/BSS/NMS"(*) the CEO and the Marketing director from one of my old jobs (going back nearly 20 years) employs there occasionally.

He hires them for 2 days to sit in a typical Indian sweatshop setting, shows them off "working hard on the customer request" to customers from 2 and 3 letter telecoms companies who are buying the software and fires them the day after. He keeps around a couple of "team leads" (quotes needed) to answer questions, but even these do nothing the rest of the time. They are for show, like the rest of the Potemkin village setup. And they really "do not know" what they are hired for.

(*) _{In reality the OSS software is written by 5 Bulgarian guys working in a luxury air-conditioned office in Sofia.}
