I have a long story here. Here's the short version...

In the 90's, I was one of the first to do manufacturing in mainland China. I wanted to move everything other than manufacturing from Santa Clara to MS. (Technical design, s/w, admin, etc.) In a nutshell I was told that if the manufacturing wasn't moved to MS that I wasn't welcome. The thought was that a successful company outsourcing the manufacturing to China was bad for MS. They didn't want to appear to be supportive of such an idea. I didn't move.
