Third Microsoft R & D Center in Israel

According to official data, Microsoft plans to open a new R & D (Research & Design) center in Israel. Recall that this is the third Microsoft R & D center in Israel. The two previous centers successfully function and bring income to the Microsoft bank. Israel is the only country outside the United States where Microsoft has established its R & D centers. Thus, we can assume that Microsoft has noticed positive trends in the development of its Israeli branches and has promising developments regarding the further development of its software in our country. The estimated opening date of the new center is scheduled for the end of the second quarter of 2009. At the moment, a tender has begun among contractors for the project. In addition, there is a competitive set of developers from the Raanana area. Judging by the postscript, the set goes to the Microsoft's OneCare PC Health Group . "Microsoft's OneCare PC Health Group (formerly Gteko), a part of the Microsoft ILDC (Israeli Development Center), specializes in providing IT solutions to businesses and small businesses. The new R & D center will be located in the rapidly developing Hi-Tech zone of Petah Tikva. According to the vice-president of R & D Microsoft Israel, Moshe Lichtman , such a favorable location of the new R & D branch will help attract new minds from the center of the country. Recall that the two existing and existing Microsoft R & D centers are located in Haifa and Hercylia. Microsoft, therefore, is also counting on the fact that it will thereby make it easier for the residents of Gush-dan and the actively developing area of ​​Modein. According to user feedback, OneCare has proven to be a completely independent and stable product that can compete with leading antivirus companies. It's quite a logical step on the part of Microsoft, especially after the recent unpleasant results of the hacker competition “CanSecWest” , in which Vista was hacked through the widely distributed Adobe Flash player. Such news is good news. Presumably, the new R & D center Microsoft will create 400-450 new jobs for highly qualified specialists, in addition to service and outsourcing resources for the company. So keep a fist for Microsoft Israel! Based on: Microsoft R & D Israel + translation
