Hey Kirk, thats a great idea....move to Finland......the heck with Redmond WA. where its 58 degrees.

If MSFT moved to Finland they could give each employees a set of snowshoes, and a bottle of vodka to help to keep warm.

Instead of side trips to Vegas and Southern California....they could go to St Petersburg for a little R&R.

They could all learn to ice fish, and take tours of the Arctic on Russian ships.

They would have to get used to eating pasties that are favored by the Finns.

They would have to learn how to say "YA" with that Finnish accent.

They would save so much money by living in Finland they could all retire by age 40.

They could learn how to complain in winter when the temperature goes above zero degrees

MSFT will give each employee departing for Finland a half page guide of things to do in Finland on days off.
(watching for icebergs, whales and for Russian submarines)

note: There are two counties in the UP of MI, where Finlanders predominate (Iron County and Marquette).
