Well, it's not actually all that off-topic, given one of last month's press
releases:  "SAS to Double R&D Operations in India in 2004"

Full release is at http://www.sas.com/news/preleases/120303/news3.html.

IBM announced last week that it was going to send a lot of its top line
development and design offshore.

Has SAS ever said they plan to send any of its development to the third
world?

How about their data warehousing competitors (since I am arguing that SAS is
the best software for managing Data Warehousing and Text Management, once I
got people to understand that databases are not Data Warehousing, they are
merely repositories of data that must be accessed by software such as SAS
that can manage metadata.
