> But to expect that a _federal agency_ will be denied service from a private entity

This is easy to fix: just exclude Microsoft from participation in any federal tenders. Either you do business with all of the federal government, or you don't. It's pretty straightforward. Right now, the situation is pretty absurd: Microsoft will sell dual use tech to China (which, let me remind you, runs concentration camps for Muslims), and to countries which literally throw gay people off the roofs, but US federal law enforcement is somehow not quite good enough to deal with. This is extreme hypocrisy, but it's pretty typical overall. I would encourage Microsoft to be consistent, and sever its business ties with countries where the human rights are not respected at least to the extent they are in the United States.
