> Also I think it's pretty disingenuous to assume that MS wants to see computer courses taught in school to drive down the cost of labor.

SWEs are some of the largest cost for any tech company, why do you feel it is disingenuous? It's a company, makes profits, if they drive down labour costs their profits increase, as any company naturally will tend to (even more larger public ones). Driving down cost of labour is basically all the motivation towards automation since time immemorial, SWEs can't be automated yet, the best course of action is to pump more SWEs to drive the labour cost down.

Not sure what else you think that would compel Microsoft to do that, interested to hear.
