Microsoft gets OK from judge to expand its empire

A Seattle area judge gave Microsoft the OK this week to purchase Eddie Bauer's corporate campus, which is situated on 20 acres conveniently located right next to Microsoft's Redmond campus. Microsoft will pay Spiegel, Eddie Bauer's parent company, $38 million for the land, which now includes three office buildings that will no doubt have to be renovated or destroyed to match Microsoft's existing campus structures.
