Ballmer: More software will come from Asia
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
More and more software will be developed in Asia in the coming years, with China and India far outpacing the number of computer science graduates the U.S. produces each year, Microsoft's chief executive officer said Wednesday.
The U.S. is a "distant third" to China and India in annual computer science graduates, said Steve Ballmer, repeating concerns he and other Microsoft executives have made in recent years. Ballmer didn't give specific numbers while speaking to a group of about 500 technology company executives in Washington, D.C., but varying estimates have China and India producing tens of thousands more computer science graduates each year than about 25,000 annually in the U.S.
