Has anyone ever heard anything about Bill Gates threatening to move Microsoft out of the U.S. should the gov't attempt to break them up?

Intersting idea Sal, I haven't heard it but it would spell certain death for MSFT or any other large software company. Hardly any employees would move away and where would the company find the thousand's of software engineers they would need? We currently have a shortage of qualified engineers in this country. And I can't think of any countries where they could fill all those positions. That's one reason many companies have multi-thousand dollar employee referral bonuses as they are having a hard time finding the right people.

Scary thought when you think about if could happen. What would it do to Seattle? I guess there would be quite a few people relocating!
