Nah, bugs will always be there. Since Indian are doing the coding part, unless the management tells them to code using the new shortcuts methods, it will still be thick code.

Change the management first of all....we need simple code.

Operating system is a combined effort.. india dev. team will be given only a part to follow up.. as the OS is made by different sub. M$ companies.. means nnot only M$ but more companies work on the R & D for a new OS..

so India will be contributing a part.. as per the news by Anand

and in vista development more than 100 companies gave contribution..

its not only case with M$ but with all major companies..
