IMHO, Microsoft needs to be careful what they ask for, lest they get it.

"IMHO" your expansionist friend needs to be careful what they ask for, and what we could "get", is possibly what we "give" away.

'Welcome asset'

The Canadians see Microsoft's current battle with the US government as an opportunity to attract one of the world's most valuable companies.

In a statement released to the BBC, the man in charge of attracting investment to British Columbia, Gordon Wilson, said Microsoft would be what he called "a welcome asset".

It is rumoured his officials may have engaged in secret discussions with Microsoft. But the company itself denies this, saying it is focusing on fighting any plans for a break-up through the courts.
