GUEST's definitions
When a company hires another company to do some aspect of its work for it.
Examples of this include (but are not limited to):
* Stores using another companies cleaning services for cleaning its floors etc (rather then having employees of their own hired as full time cleaners).
* An ISP using a third party for its e-mail services rather then using servers of their own.
* A company in need of call centre services using a third person company rather then building a call centre of its own.
Companies often outsource to save money. However, it's also possible they want to concentrate on their main service and allow another company to worry about secondary ones (ie, companies whose main service are those secondary ones).
Outsourcing unfortunatly costs jobs domestically when companies outsource overseas. This is why people dislike it so much.

Get the outsourcing mug.A lovley folder in various versions of Windows and another prime example of Disobedient Computer Syndrome.
Will appear in your 'My Documents' folder whenever you open display control panel or open programs like Photoshop etc.
No matter now many times you delete it, it will re-appear.
Another example of how Windows wants everyone to do things its way and cannot understand that maybe just maybe people want to store their images in another folder.

My Pictures always appears in My Documents wether you want it to or not. You have no choice; resistance is futile.
