    Microsoft was just listed as #38 on Fortune Magazine's "100 Best Companies To Work For" list. The average hourly worker at Microsoft makes $59,420/year and the average salaried worker makes $112,399/year. The benefits are also outstanding. They do have people in other countries but it is less than the % of their business that comes from non-US sources. If you are talking about H1B people, I would bet money they are paid virtually the same as other US workers. This charge against Microsoft is totally unfounded. I don't believe you know what you are talking about...I have never worked for Microsoft but I do own a little of their stock...
