Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft plans to set up a regional software engineering center in Poland this year, company Chairman Bill Gates said Thursday. Gates said he hoped to have more than 40 people working by the end of 2006 at the center, which he said would "draw on ... talent that is very strong here." Another company official, Tomasz Bochenek, said the center would be based in Warsaw and was expected to eventually employ about 200 people. During a brief address to reporters in Warsaw, Gates also said Microsoft would set up five training centers in Poland.
