Which move offshores more jobs: Continuing open source development, or non-U.S. Microsoft price cuts?

Open source software usually free. Microsoft software is not. When Microsoft decides to drop the price of software sold to developing nations, but not the price charged to U.S. customers, Microsoft is effectively subsidizing economic development everywhere but here. Make no mistake: Microsoft is a multinational corporation that will do whatever is best for Microsoft. As this trend plays out, it will be more and more difficult to wrap oneself around the Microsoft flag as some sort of defense against the offshoring trend.
