I have worked via VO (virtual office) for > 6 years. My employer affords me the ability to work on MY terms. Yes, we are expected to be in the "office" when mildy sick however, I can have time with my children. This is not available to office workers. If my work can be outsourced to [India/China/wherever], I can surely work for less cost than an office employee in the US. My cost to my employer my salary + the cost of my internet connection. Not the cost of network, heating/cooling, lighting, office building. So, this should be the future of IT, not lawsuits. This is crap. I have worked via VO (virtual office) for > 6 years.
