MICROSOFT CREATES SOFTWARE GROUP IN INDIA Microsoft is opening a 25-person software development group in Hyderabad, India, focused on creating new business software and components of the Windows NT operating system. The Redmond, Washington-based company has for the past seven years operated a similar center in Haifa, Israel. A Microsoft executive explained: "At some point we realized we might not be able to get all the talent we want to move to Redmond." (USA Today 24 Mar 98 via EduPage)
