If H1B has a salary limit, it will mean more H1Bs are for high skilled labor going to US corporations, which is what it was meant to be.[/quote]
Oracle sent their entire development unit offshore a while ago (and yes, quality did suffer, but it's still there).  DBA and sys admins may not go offshore, and the offshore company will always have a represtentative in the US, but a lot of the support and low level development will go.

Yes, some companies are bringing back from offshore, and part of it is due to work quality but the other part is due to higher wages now in India. It's not as cheap as it used to be, but still cheaper than here.

And Agile doesn't work for certain types of systems. This is a whole other conversation, though.

Like I stated, more and more companies are outsourcing even some of their low level admin work.[/quote]

is this what happened to jDeveloper and BPEL and SOA?  turned into a mess of complexity and instability.[/quote]
Partly this and partly I think the company got too big, and bought too many other companies with different techologies. It's also harder to change older technology. I liken it to a city's infrastructure. If you have a really old city with not much wiring, it's easy to put in all brand new technology, whereas if you have a city with established wiring and system, it's much harder to change the technology.   This is like South Korea. They are the most wired, high tech country in the world. They went from 3rd world country to this in just 50 years because they pretty much  had a blank slate to start with.[/quote]
