Was Great Plains Software - Is Microsoft now

Post by ChiOCat » Thu Jun 02, 2011 2:56 pm

I thought a few might be interested in the series running in the paper. Today covers the start of Great Plains which was bought by Microsoft. Highlights the small town/small state work ethic. I joke that the small town we live in is 75% Microsoft employees and they retain that work ethic. Most of our Scout Leaders are Microsoft (and I mean all but one!)
