MS Moves R&D To Canada Due To Immigration Problem

Posted by Zonk on from the not-enough-brainpower dept.

telso writes "Microsoft will be opening a new software development center in Vancouver because of difficulties getting workers into the US. The company said the center will 'allow the company to continue to recruit and retain highly skilled people affected by the immigration issues in the US' It seems possible that shrinking immigration quotas have affected America's tax and knowledge base."

    Starting with you. If you're going to be correcting grammar, you ought to write in complete sentences and in the proper tense. It lends credibility to your posts. Since your post has no substance, credibility's really all you have left.

    Unspoken but I bet part of the problem is that with the DHS and the TSA and their combined incompetence and evil, foreign workers from certain areas of the world are just having too much trouble coming into the country and staying in.

    I hear that grass is legal in Vancouver, they have coffee-shop (grass-shop?) where you are allowed to smoke and I hear there is at least one where you can buy stuff.

    Given the state of development and software in general at MS. It couldn't get worse if some of MS employees felt for it I guess. It could only get better.
