Ahem!! You said it...
"Now let???s zoom in on the software companies. Labor going offshore. Check. No commodity costs. Check. Weak dollar helping results. Check. Folks, something doesn???t quite add up here. Perhaps support is improving, but not by that much. If anything you should be seeing support costs fall. Software vendors aren???t passing along lower costs they are gouging you to inflate already healthy profit margins."

This is one *huge* reason that I disbelieve the need for both H1Bs and offshoring the heck outta software development!! It's hugely profitable already. Stop selling Americans down river!
