Microsoft Development centre in Canada

It looks like Microsoft will be opening a development center in Vancouver. This is incredibly good news for those of us who know, work in, and love the Lower Mainland.  We are already filled with game developers such as EA but to have someone as big as Microsoft invest so much in a facility is a good sign. Admittedly, it is unfortunate to think that one of the biggest reasons they are doing this is to bypass the H-1B limitation but nevertheless our immense talent will be a tremendous asset to the Microsoft machine.
