News flash: Microsoft is coming to Vancouver!

Today I woke up to the news that Microsoft is opening the first software development center in Canada and Vancouver is the lucky city that gets to host it. Here’s the press release. They must really have taken my little blog entry seriously!  :)

I must say I was surprised by the number of emails that I received today letting me know about this announcement. Rest assured I got the message. Unfortunately it seems to be coming too late for me. We’re just 4 weeks away from departing Canada for good and it would take a mighty compelling offer to convince me to stay.

Either way its great news for Microsoft and Canada and the many talented developers that live here that might be interested in an opportunity to affect the lives of millions of people by building great software and services!

I’m going to miss Vancouver...

  • Kenny, I'm beginning to believe that the fates are conspiring against you working at Microsoft! That's great news for Vancouver and Microsoft, but rotten luck for you, buddy. Ah well, hopefully England will prove to be a happy hunting ground for you and your family.

    Best of luck, mate.

  • It's great news. It's basically impossible to get into fortress USA now, so this is an awesome alternative. Canada is a nicer place to live anyway ;)
