Moving labor overseas has consequences. The labor pool here will begin ignoring Microsoft (more than we already now, but that's besides the point), since there aren't any US offices. This leads to the further development of competing infrastructure.
Next, you find Microsoft's products will take much longer to get certified for government use. Now that the core developers of the OS aren't U.S. workers, what's to say there aren't "backdoors" inserted by Chinese/Indian nationals? Oracle products sometimes lag for a year and a half because of its "development in every time zone model" when it comes to certifying it for our Defense Infrastructure.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is echo'd by "The market's are that simple". As HP's CEO said when "globalization" was a "new concept" it cannot be ignored if you want to remain competitive. But in actuality that means being competitive in job markets globally, and that can be done with H1-Bs.
