They bring them in the name of KT

The number of people coming over to UK for Knowledge Transfer [KT] has really gone up recently. Previously they used come on business visas, now they have started coming on Work Permits for 2 years or so.

The amount of money they get paid is absolutely ridiculous. A graduate programmer gets 30K on an average in this country, where as a person coming over to a client location for KT is just the same. But the level of experience and knowledge these people who come over are that of an IT consultant, had he/she been a UK national would have been earning double if not more.

There has to be a way to check this.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
