Invest in the Future
Microsoft Expanding Canadian Operations in Greater Vancouver Area
Microsoft just announced that it's opening a new software development center in the greater Vancouver, British Columbia, area. The Microsoft Canada Development Centre will open in the fall of 2007 and will be home to software developers from around the world.
Microsoft is a global company, and our greatest asset is smart, talented, highly skilled people. Our goal as a company is to attract the next generation of leading software developers from all parts of the world, and this center will be a beacon for some of that talent. - S. Somasegar, VP of the Immigration Developer Division at Microsoft.
The Microsoft Canada Development Centre will operate as one of a handful of development centers outside the company’s Redmond, Wash., headquarters; the others are located in North Carolina, Ireland, Denmark and Israel.
There are not enough Irish people working at Microsoft's Irish Development center, I wish they would invest in a school in the west of Ireland.
Steve Ballmer should invest in the future of the great state of Michigan after all they invested in him. There are millions of young American kids who just need a little mentoring in the art of software development and they don't require H-1B visas.
