it is cheaper than something else.
if their prices are higher, they won't sell anything.
Anyway, if the offshore people can programm better,
then why not let them have the job.
if they can't, then IBM will soon realise it and give the
jobs to good programmer's in USA.

Sure they are screwing themselves...If you send the jobs overseas then the Americans who lost their job are not going to be buying things. So the more jobs you take away the less American people are going to be buying.
So who is going to buy their products? The countries they sent the jobs to? Since they decided to pay some guy in India $5,000 /year instead of the 60,000/year for the American they are going to be forced to lower their prices and that will start to affect their profits.
I don't quite see where companies are thinking this math is going to work....
