About 6 months ago, Gates spoke about moving more operations to China. That
would save Microsoft some money (they'll use "bad education" as an excuse),
but it would not make them any more popular. Meanwhile, people in America and
Europe will be slinging open source code and adapt it to their enterprise
needs (Moodle is a marvel because you have a huge number of universities
working _together_ and reusing/sharing GPL code). They will also be ensuring
that a foreigner does not put back doors in some binaries of Windows
Vapourware, aka Windows 7. Can you blame the Navy for shunning proprietary
software at this stage?
