"Imagine if Microsoft announce the Federal government had ordered them to stop producing Windows in French, Russian or persian."

Its not a bad idea but I'm not sure we still have that leverage available to us.

Recent history of the USA. We were the kings of software development. We hired off shore workers, many from India to work in silicon valley California and else where. Bill Gates built high tech cities for software development in India. Microsoft development is huge in India now, California computer development economy has all but collapsed. India now has their own products, MicroSoft and competitors of Microsoft. They don't need our jobs. Microsoft announcements are more likely to coerce us to change things than them.
