    It may get to the point that it's illegal to export security patches to various countries

    Right, and other countries are simply gonna wait till USA comes around and helps them. Do you really think other countries are idiots? Heck slowly but surely, most of the major OS development is also moving out of US. In fact Microsoft has a OS development unit in India. And you really think those Indians are gonna wait? And with all the trouble Microsoft is having in Other countries they are just gonna say yes to whatever those dick headed congressmen are gonna say? Last time I checked, corporations run American policies not American policies.
