That's (50/50) also about the split of global software revenue, maybe a little tilted away from US, but not much. Depending on how you count.

Not funny. And not just Microsoft. Most US companies and the majority of US citizens too.

It make sense. With Microsoft - it is US company. With citizens same: domestic vs foreign. Like with Eurosport commentators that are rooting for British racers. In every country it is the same. But since English language is now international, we somehow expect content to be international as well.
