Microsoft Expands in Canada Amid U.S. Visa Crunch
Microsoft Corp. said on Thursday it will open a software development center in Vancouver, giving it a place to employ skilled workers snagged by U.S. immigration quotas.

Life at Google - The Microsoftie Perspective « Just Say “No” To Google
The comments are freaky. MS folks piling on this person which seems kind of stupid, because this reads like a love letter to life at Microsoft if I ever read one. I’d like to see this person follow up with a second interview [...]
