No, it has been *moved* to the HP development center in India.
Not outsourced. You have to read up some on "outsourcing".
I guess you are thinking about "offshoring" which is something
else (and more in line with the move of VMS to India)

Yes, I know. I have been to two meetings with representatives
from the Indian group this year.

I never sad that and I just couldn't care less about what
is or what is not done in the US.

I only sad that HP had not outsourced VMS. VMS is still within HP.
Maybe not in the US, but why would I care about *that*.
Face it, the US is not where "things happen" anymore...

And if more can be done for VMS at a lower cost, why would
anyone complain ?
